Data Structures | Stack | Question 1

Following is C like pseudo code of a function that takes a number as an argument, and uses a stack S to do processing.

void fun(int n)
{
    Stack S;  // Say it creates an empty stack S
    while (n > 0)
    {
      // This line pushes the value of n%2 to stack S
      push(&S, n%2);

      n = n/2;
    }

    // Run while Stack S is not empty
    while (!isEmpty(&S))
      printf("%d ", pop(&S)); // pop an element from S and print it
}

What does the above function do in general?
(A) Prints binary representation of n in reverse order
(B) Prints binary representation of n
(C) Prints the value of Logn
(D) Prints the value of Logn in reverse order


Answer: (B) Explanation: See method 2 of https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/binary-representation-of-a-given-number/ for explanation.
