How does a Stack<T> work internally?
Short answer: Internally, Stack<T> uses an array-based dynamic storage system: When capacity is exceeded, the internal array resizes automatically (typically doubles) The top of the stack is managed with a private index pointer This structure provides fast push and pop operations (constant time on average).
Real-world example (ShopNest)
ShopNest uses a Queue<Order> for “orders waiting for payment confirmation,” and a Stack<Uri> for back-navigation in the admin UI.
