Implement two stacks in an array

Implement two stacks in an array is a DSA topic. In plain words you use it for a short Implement two stacks in an array example in a short dry-run on paper. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: the smallest Implement two stacks in an array example you can type. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Implement two stacks in an array.

From the example next to this theory: Implement two stacks in an array — arrays give O(1) index access; matrices are arrays of arrays.

Trap — only saying “Implement two stacks in an array” with no example. Fix that before you talk about advanced DSA.

Viva: what is Implement two stacks in an array? Then show the smallest Implement two stacks in an array example you can type. Then name the trap.

What is Implement two stacks in an array? Show this: the smallest Implement two stacks in an array example you can type. Trap: only saying “Implement two stacks in an array” with no example.

Example

arr = [10, 20, 30, 40]
print(arr[2], arr[-1])
matrix = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
print(matrix[1][0])  # 3

Implement two stacks in an array — arrays give O(1) index access; matrices are arrays of arrays.
