In an array-based implementation of a stack, which end of the contents of the array represents the bottom of the stack and why?

What will be an ideal response?


A stack is implemented as an array with the bottom of the stack represented by index 0 of the array. This is
for efficiency – if index 0 were the top, whenever an element is removed the entire contents of the array would have to be
shifted down, which would require too much time.
