            <p>A stack works like a <strong>pile of plates</strong> - last in, first out (LIFO):</p>
            <ul>
                <li><strong>Push:</strong> Add item to the top</li>
                <li><strong>Pop:</strong> Remove and return the top item</li>
                <li><strong>Peek:</strong> Look at top without removing</li>
