 e above discussion is only to give you a feel about stacks in general. More details

of stack operation, the exact instructions used etc., should be learned with respect to a

speciﬁ c processor.

Where are stacks used?

A stack is used to store data ‘temporarily’—so that it ﬁ nds use in storing addresses and

processor status (content of registers including the ﬂ ag register) when function calls and

interrupts occur. A programmer can ﬁ nd various other uses of stacks when he wants to

write intelligent and interesting programs.

2.2.9 | Interrupts

 is is a very commonly used term in embedded processing, and thus it is very important

to understand it thoroughly. Let us start with the whole philosophy of this term with

respect ...

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
