C program to implement Stack using array

A STACK is a simple Data Structure, It can be implemented as an array or as Linked List, Stack has only One End that is TOP, Item can be pushed (add) and popped (remove) by only this End (TOP Pointer). Array follows LIFO (Last In First Out) property, it means Item that is inserted Last will be popped first.
