The entry of "12-Dec" re: use of the term "stack" vs. "queue" should
be deleted. This note is entirely wrong and apt to mislead the naive.
The difference between a stack and a queue is that a stack adds and removes at the same end, while a
queue adds at one end and removes from the other.
As for any underlying data structure, such as an array: whether an implementation of
"push" operates on the top/bottom/front/back of that data structure is entirely arbitrary.
