Hi everyone,
Please I need help in explaining the meaning of the following statements in data structures;
getTop(stackTop)
push(stackTop)
please help.
Thanks!
ALOYSIUS.

getTop(stackTop) => probably a method for getting the top element in a Stack.
push(stackTop) => probably a method for pushing an element to top of a Stack.

How does an ATM work? Thank you.

Which ATM? Asynchronous Transfer Mode, Automated Teller Machine?
If it's Automated Teller Machine, then you stand beside the machine - it's usually (but not always) located in a wall. Try not to stand behind it because:
a) It makes it really hard to stick your card in
b) You can't really see the keys to press
and
c) If the ATM is located in a wall, you'll have to knock an inconvenient hole in the wall to stick your arms through.
Once you've positioned yourself on the right side of the ATM, and are within reaching distance (obviously you don't want to have to throw the card at it and hope that it slides into the card reader), insert your card into the card reader slot, follow the instructions onscreen, enter your PIN and perform the operation of your choice. The operation should be related to the ATM, it's unadvisable to perform an appendectomy beside the ATM, for instance.
The PIN here refers to a Personal Identity Number that will have been issued to you by your bank. Physically sticking Pins into the ATM will do nothing for it - it does not need acupuncture, it does not respect voodoo.
Please choose the correct slot for the card when you enter it. The mouth of the person standing behind you does not count as a card reader. The receipts tray does not constitute the card reader, nor does the rubbish bin near by.
Thus ends your ATM lesson for today.

I'll be happy to write one if he'll give me a plausible reason for drive-up ATMs that have Braille keypads.

According to this[^] it is because of ADA. (See the second question)

1) ATM used by blind drivers side passenger.
2) Why manufacture two types of keypads?

Okay... I'm writing as fast as I can. 
Actually, I figured that out, but it still seems absurd to me to find them in the US. We have no blind driver-side passengers, though a case might be made for a blind client using the ATM from a cab. My cynical nature inclines me to think that the most likely reason is that it's cheaper to make one kind of keyboard than two.

Stevie Wonder rides in a Limo, and might want to use the ATM. Therefore all ATM's should be accessible to Stevie Wonder.

For the regulars who answer questions on this board - is there any point to having Chris put up a sticky that discourages asking for "URGENTZ - NEED HELP" type requests? Perhaps included in the sticky would be advice on asking good questions so that your question gets answered?
If I can get some agreement on this, I'll post something in the suggestions forum to that effect.

I doubt that such a warning would phase 99% of such posters since they probably wouldn't read it. A large proportion of such posts come as their very first post. Hell, a lot of them can't even seem to figure out which forum to post in.

IMO every forum should have a sticky message, and most of them could have exactly the same content except for the mission statement. Why would this forum be any different?

If you want to suggest they change it, you would have to repost in the suggestions&bugs forum, that's the only one Chris reads!

As if sticky will do any magic. I think what might force people to read (at least see it) is when someone is new (say below x number of posts) then when posting they will be redirected with the page that have the same wording as sticky and they need to consent (similar to EULA) by checking off. That way, at least they will loose the "oh! I did not see it" argument.
just my 2cents

you can't complain about people not following the rules, if the rules aren't published.
Having them signed of once may not be good enough, lots of things around here change all the time.
I'm in favor of a sticky note with a last-modified date (as in suggs/bugs forum).

I think you did not get what I said. What I suggested was a different way of publishing the rules. This can be done in addition to sticky.
Luc Pattyn wrote: Having them signed of once may not be good enough, lots of things around here change all the time.
No, it does have to be done only once. This could be for the first x number of posts. That way the message is delivered again and again.
Luc Pattyn wrote: I'm in favor of a sticky note with a last-modified date (as in suggs/bugs forum).
I have nothing against this. But if you see the sticky for asp.net and c# ( for example ), the most rules that get violated frequently are #1 and #2. So, the question is how do we make people to follow this rules, well
1. Sticky is good, but it does not force people to see it.
2. Making it *mandatory* to show for the first x number of posts will force *some* people to notice it. I recon it will not eliminate the issue, people will keep ignoring it, but if it can reduce the people by good percentage it is worth it.

Rather than annoying new members N times (some do understand from a single read, you should not punish them for being new here), we should be given a button "poster needs to read the rules again" next to "vote to remove", so readers can inflict the pop-up rules as much as is required.

Open to abuse. If a poster doesn't like a reply, or just has a vendetta against a member, they can annoy a member indefinitely. Perhaps it would be possible to put some form of restriction on it? (e.g. 3 votes required or cannot be performed on [silver|gold] members and above

of course, similar to the "vote to remove", whatever the filter is there.
