How to implement a stack (Last-In-First-Out) using a slice in Golang?

To implement a stack using a slice in Golang, you can follow these steps:

Define a new type for the stack, which will be a slice of the underlying data type. For example, if you want to create a stack of integers, you can define the type as type Stack []int.
Implement a method called Push to add elements to the stack. The method should take the value to be pushed as a parameter and append it to the slice. For example:

func (s *Stack) Push(value int) {
    *s = append(*s, value)
}

Implement a method called Pop to remove and return the topmost element from the stack. The method should check if the stack is empty before attempting to pop an element. If the stack is not empty, it should retrieve and return the last element using the slice's indexing and slicing operations. For example:

func (s *Stack) Pop() (int, error) {
    if s.IsEmpty() {
        return 0, fmt.Errorf("Stack is empty")
    }
    index := len(*s) - 1
    value := (*s)[index]
    *s = (*s)[:index]
    return value, nil
}

Implement a method called IsEmpty to check if the stack is empty. The method should return true if the length of the slice is 0 and false otherwise. For example:

func (s *Stack) IsEmpty() bool {
    return len(*s) == 0
}

That's it! You now have a basic implementation of a stack using a slice in Golang.

Here's an example usage of the stack implementation:

func main() {
    var s Stack

    s.Push(1)
    s.Push(2)
    s.Push(3)

    for !s.IsEmpty() {
        value, _ := s.Pop()
        fmt.Println(value)
    }
}

Output:

3
2
1

Note: The implementation provided here does not include error handling for cases like popping from an empty stack, to keep it concise. In a real-world scenario, you should handle such cases appropriately.
