Stacks are the fundamental architecture behind features that require state tracking, history management, and recursive descent.
Every time you click a link, the current URL is pushed to a stack. When you click "Back", it pops the top URL. Text editors use the exact same logic for tracking state changes for Ctrl+Z.
Compilers use stacks to convert infix expressions (like `2 + 3 * 4`) into postfix notation, and then evaluate them mathematically, effortlessly handling operator precedence and parentheses.
Whether exploring a maze, traversing a tree, or generating permutations, Stacks allow an algorithm to dive as deep as possible and "backtrack" exactly where it left off.
