package main

import "fmt"

// Stack structure
type Stack struct {
	items []int
}

// Push adds an item to the stack
func (s *Stack) Push(item int) {
	s.items = append(s.items, item)
}

// Pop removes and returns the top item from the stack
func (s *Stack) Pop() int {
	if len(s.items) == 0 {
		fmt.Println("Stack is empty!")
		return -1
	}
	top := s.items[len(s.items) - 1]
	s.items = s.items[:len(s.items) - 1]
	
	return top
}

func main() {
	stack := Stack{}

	// Push items onto the stack
	stack.Push(10)
	stack.Push(20)
	stack.Push(30)
	stack.Push(40)

	fmt.Println("Stack after pushes:", stack.items)

	// Pop items from the stack
	fmt.Println("Popped:", stack.Pop())
	fmt.Println("Popped:", stack.Pop())
	
	fmt.Println("Stack after pops:", stack.items)
}


/*
run:

Stack after pushes: [10 20 30 40]
Popped: 40
Popped: 30
Stack after pops: [10 20]
