Video of Data structures: Array implementation of stacks in Data Structures course by mycodeschool channel, video No. 15 free certified online

In this lesson, we have discussed array based implementation of stack data structure.
Source Code:
C code: https://gist.github.com/mycodeschool/6878252
C++ code (Object oriented implementation) : https://gist.github.com/mycodeschool/6878628
Time complexity of push for dynamic array implementation:
If we start with an array of size 1 and keep doubling the size with each overflow, for n pushes cost of copy will be
(1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + . + n/2 + n)
n ( 1+ 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + . 1/n) - taking out n
n2 - the expression in bracket above will evaluate to 2.
So, cost of copy in n pushes O(n)
Cost of n normal pushes O(n) - each push takes constant time
Total cost of n pushes O(n)
Average cost of 1 push O(1).
