ES6 vs. ES5

ES stands Ecmascript which the standard that JavaScript was build on top of. ES5 was released in 2009 (ES2009) and ES6 was released in 2015(ES2015), so this means that it took the committee in charge 6 years to release an update to the language. That update was massive; mainly because version 4 was skipped.

ES6 brings a lot of great features to Javascript that developers have been long waiting for.

Stack vs. Queue

Stack is like a pile of  books placed on top of each other. We can add new books to the top and can remove them from only the top because stacks are LIFO which means last-in, first-out. Queues on the other hand are the opposite, which is FIFO meaning first-in, first-out. So adding an element to the queue will be the same but removing will happen to the first element not the last one. An example of a queue would be the wait line in front of any kind of service we see around us like the bus station or the shops,....etc.
