Let's Build a Stack

In this lab we will build a stack data structure and use the SPARK provers to find the errors in the below implementation.

Background

So, what is a stack?

A stack is like a pile of dishes...

The pile starts out empty.
You add ( push ) a new plate ( data ) to the stack by placing it on the top of the pile.
To get plates ( data ) out, you take the one off the top of the pile ( pop ).
Out stack has a maximum height ( size ) of 9 dishes

Pushing items onto the stack

Here's what should happen if we pushed the string MLH onto the stack.

The list starts out empty. Each time we push a character onto the stack, Last increments by 1.

Popping items from the stack

Here's what should happen if we popped 2 characters off our stack & then clear it.

Note that pop and clear don't unset the Storage array's elements, they just change the value of Last.

Input Format

N inputs will be read from stdin/console as inputs, C to the stack.

Constraints

1 <= N <= 1000

C is any character. Characters d and p will be special characters corresponding to the below commands:

p => Pops a character off the stack

d => Prints the current characters in the stack

Output Format

If the stack currently has the characters "M", "L", and "H" then the program should print the stack like this:

[M, L, H]

Sample Input

M L H d p d p d p d

Sample Output

[M, L, H] [M, L] [M] []

Note that, in order to prove the code below, you need to click on the Prove button. Note also that errors are expected initially — it is up to you to use the output from the prover to correct these and produce a working, fully proved stack!
