    Can anyone give me an example of this?

    This should be easy for you guys. I am reading about Stack and Queue Data Structures, and their use with Linked Lists and Arrays, etc.

    I have found a lot of information, but I can not seem to find much info on real world examples of common programs that use the Stack Data Structure, or the Queue Data Structure, more specifically which ones ALSO use either linked lists or arrays.

    Can you provide me some examples so I can get a visual of this in my head? Thanks.

    I get info on what Stack and Data Structures and Linked Lists are, and how they are used, I just need a program that uses them, like Microsoft Word, or something like that, and which they use. It helps me visualize things like that if I can relate it to how an actual program I use operates.

    Parsers use LIFO queues for matching ends of expressions for example pairing the () in an arithmetic expression.

    You can't tell if a program uses one of those data structures without looking at the code.
    MS Word could/would use them.

    So, I guess MS Word is a program that uses the Queue data structure, and linked lists?

    It could. How would it help you if it did?

    It would help me by knowing some examples of programs that actually use what I am reading about.

    How would knowing that a big and complicated program like MS Word uses a specific technique help you? It probably uses dozens of different techniques. There is no easy way to look inside of Word to see how it uses a specific technique.

    I guess this was all a waste of time.
    Google would give more and better answers for such a general question.
