Have you tried anything yourself yet? Show us what you have done and where you have problems. Just asking for help with no visible sign of your own effort will not get you far.

If you know how a stack should work then you shouldn't have problems implementing it with a fixed size array.

The simplest way is to have an array on a fixed size, and an index of the current top. When you push items to the stack you store them in the array and increment the index. When you pop them, you do the other way around. Of course, this has the drawback it's a fixed size, no matter how many elements you have and you can also reach the maximum size and then would not be able to add more elements.

Another option is to have a linked-list, and always add and remove at the head. This way you allocate only the memory you need.

Now, I don't know what you mean by "simple way".
