Program working steps

• First line of the program is the comment, 2nd & 3rd lines are preprocessor statments which include definition of functions like printf, scanf, clrscr etc.
• From void main() function the program execution starts.
• Declaration of variable stack with integer data type.
• clrscr() function clears the console window.
• 9th line prints the characters quoted in double quote and 10th line asks for user input and stores the value entered into the variable stack.
• If condition expression is true then the next statment on line no.12 will be executed printing 'Stack is overflow'. And if expression is false then 12th line statement will be ignored.
• So user should enter value greater than ten to execute the if block statement.
• In the above example we have used single statement condition body, you can use multiple statement condition body using opening and closing curly brackets.
• getch() function takes the single input character from the keyboard and that character is not display on the console screen.
