# Standard library header <stack>

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | header

This header is part of the containers library.

### Includes

`<initializer_list>`(C++11)

### Classes

stack | adapts a container to provide stack (LIFO data structure) (class template)
std::uses_allocator<std::stack> (C++11) | specializes the std::uses_allocator type trait (function template)

### Functions

operator==operator!=operator<operator<=operator>operator>= | lexicographically compares the values in the stack (function template)
std::swap(std::stack) | specializes the std::swap algorithm (function template)

### Synopsis

    #include <initializer_list>

    namespace std {
        template <class T, class Container = deque<T> > class stack;

        template <class T, class Container>
            bool operator==(const stack<T, Container>& x,const stack<T, Container>& y);
        template <class T, class Container>
            bool operator!=(const stack<T, Container>& x,const stack<T, Container>& y);

        template <class T, class Container>

        template <class T, class Container>
            bool operator<=(const stack<T, Container>& x,const stack<T, Container>& y);

            void swap(stack<T, Container>& x, stack<T, Container>& y)
