The document discusses stacks and queues. A stack follows the LIFO (last in, first out) principle where the last element added is the first to be removed. Real-world examples include plates and books. Queues follow the FIFO (first in, first out) principle where the first element added is the first to be removed, as seen with ticket lines. Visual simulations and examples of using stacks for recursion and queues for threading are provided.
