Given a stack with n elements, the task is to remove all the elements of the stack without affecting the order of elements.
Examples: 
 

Input : s = 16 <- 15 <- 29 <- 24 <- 19 (TOP) 
Output: 19 29 15 
19 29 15 is the order of odd elements in which 
they will be popped from the given stack.
Input : s = 1 <- 2 <- 3 <- 4 <- 5 (TOP) 
Output: 5 3 1 
 

 

Approach: 
 

  1. Create a temporary stack temp and start popping the elements of the given stack s.
  2. For every popped element say val, if val % 2 == 1 then push it to temp.
  3. At the end of step 2, temp will contain all the odd elements from s but in reverse order.
  4. Now, to get the original order, pop every element from temp and push it to s.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <stack>
#include <iostream>
#include <stdio.h>
 
using namespace std;
 
// Utility function to print
// the contents of a stack
static void printStack(stack<int> s)
{
    while (!s.empty())
    {
        cout << s.top() << " ";
        s.pop();
    }
}
 
// Function to delete all even
// elements from the stack
static void deleteEven(stack<int> s)
{
    stack<int> temp;
    // While stack is not empty
    while (!s.empty())
    {
        int val = s.top();
        s.pop();
 
        // If value is odd then push
        // it to the temporary stack
        if (val % 2 == 1)
            temp.push(val);
    }
 
    // Transfer the contents of the temporary stack
    // to the original stack in order to get
    // the original order of the elements
    while (!temp.empty())
    {
        s.push(temp.top());
        temp.pop();
    }
 
    // Print the modified stack content
    printStack(s);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    stack<int> s;
    s.push(16);
    s.push(15);
    s.push(29);
    s.push(24);
    s.push(19);
    deleteEven(s);
    return 0;
}

        while (!stack.isEmpty())
            System.out.print(stack.pop() + " ");
    }
 
    // Function to delete all even
    // elements from the stack
    static void deleteEven(Stack<Integer> stack)
    {
        Stack<Integer> temp = new Stack<>();
 
        // While stack is not empty
        while (!stack.isEmpty()) {
            int val = stack.pop();
 
            // If value is odd then push
            // it to the temporary stack
            if (val % 2 == 1)
                temp.push(val);
        }
 
        // Transfer the contents of the temporary stack

    {

        stack.push(16);

        stack.push(24);
        stack.push(19);
 
        deleteEven(stack);
    }
}
