Given a stack s, the task is to print the elements of the stack from bottom to top, such that the elements are still present in the stack without their order being changed in the stack.

Examples: 

Input : 
       
       
|   4    |
|   3    |
|   2    |
|   1    |
|________|

Output :1 2 3 4

Approach 1 (Recursion): The idea is to pop the element of the stack and call the recursive function PrintStack. Once the stack becomes empty start printing the element which was popped last and the last element that was popped was the bottom-most element. Thus, elements will be printed from bottom to top. Now push back the element that was printed, this will preserve the order of the elements in the stack.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to print the elements of a
// stack from bottom to top
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Recursive function to print stack elements
// from bottom to top without changing
// their order
void PrintStack(stack<int> s)
{
    // If stack is empty then return
    if (s.empty())
        return;
     
 
    int x = s.top();
 
    // Pop the top element of the stack
    s.pop();
 
    // Recursively call the function PrintStack
    PrintStack(s);
 
    // Print the stack element starting
    // from the bottom
    cout << x << " ";
 
    // Push the same element onto the stack
    // to preserve the order
    s.push(x);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Stack s
    stack<int> s;
 
    s.push(1);
    s.push(2);
    s.push(3);
    s.push(4);
 
    PrintStack(s);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program to print the elements of a
// stack from bottom to top
import java.util.*;
 
class GfG
{
 
// Recursive function to print stack elements
// from bottom to top without changing
// their order
static void PrintStack(Stack<Integer> s)
{
    // If stack is empty then return
    if (s.isEmpty())
        return;
     
    int x = s.peek();
 
    // Pop the top element of the stack
    s.pop();
 
    // Recursively call the function PrintStack
    PrintStack(s);
 
    // Print the stack element starting
    // from the bottom
    System.out.print(x + " ");
 
    // Push the same element onto the stack
    // to preserve the order
    s.push(x);
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    // Stack s
    Stack<Integer> s = new Stack<Integer> ();
 
    s.push(1);
    s.push(2);
    s.push(3);
    s.push(4);
 
    PrintStack(s);
}
}

Approach 2 (Using another stack): The idea is to push every element into another temporary stack and then print elements of the temporary stack. 

C++




// C++ program to print the elements of a
// stack from bottom to top
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Recursive function to print stack elements
// from bottom to top without changing
// their order
void PrintStack(stack<int> s)
{
    stack<int> temp;
    while (s.empty() == false)
    {
        temp.push(s.top());
        s.pop();
    }  
 
    while (temp.empty() == false)
    {
        int t = temp.top();
        cout << t << " ";
        temp.pop();
 
        // To restore contents of
        // the original stack.
        s.push(t); 
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Stack s
    stack<int> s;
 
    s.push(1);
    s.push(2);
    s.push(3);
    s.push(4);
 
    PrintStack(s);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program to print the
// elements of a stack from
// bottom to top
import java.util.*;
class Main{
   
// Recursive function to print
// stack elements from bottom
// to top without changing
// their order
public static void PrintStack(Stack<Integer> s)
{
  Stack<Integer> temp = new Stack<Integer>();
   
  while (s.empty() == false)
  {
    temp.push(s.peek());
    s.pop();
  }  
 
  while (temp.empty() == false)
  {
    int t = temp.peek();
    System.out.print(t + " ");
    temp.pop();
 
    // To restore contents of
    // the original stack.
    s.push(t); 
  }
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
  // Stack s
  Stack<Integer> s = new Stack<Integer>();
 
  s.push(1);
  s.push(2);
  s.push(3);
  s.push(4);
  PrintStack(s);
}
