The Ds\Stack::allocate() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to allocate memory for required capacity. This function allocates sufficient memory for a given capacity of an instance of Stack class.
Syntax: 
 

void Ds\Stack::allocate( $capacity )


Parameters: This function accepts a single parameter $capacity which is an integral value denoting the number of values for which capacity is needed to allocate.
Return Value: This function does not return any value.
Below programs illustrate the Ds\Stack::allocate() function in PHP:
Program 1: 
 

php
<?php 

// PHP program to illustrate the 
// Ds\Stack::allocate() function 

// Create a Stack instance 
$stack = new \Ds\Stack(); 
  
echo("Allocated Space is: "); 
  
// Use capacity() function 
var_dump($stack->capacity()); 
  
echo("Allocated space is: "); 
  
// Use allocate() function to  
// allocate capacity 
$stack->allocate(50); 
  
// Display the allocated stack 
// capacity 
var_dump($stack->capacity()); 

?> 

Output: 
Allocated Space is: int(8)
Allocated space is: int(50)

 

Program 2: 
 

php
<?php 

// Declare new stack 
$stack = new \Ds\Stack(); 

echo("Allocated Space is: "); 

// Use capacity() function 
var_dump($stack->capacity()); 

echo("Allocated space is: "); 

// Use allocate() function to 
// allocate capacity 
$stack->allocate(5); 

// Display the stack capacity 
var_dump($stack->capacity()); 

echo("Allocated space is: "); 

// Use allocate() function to 
// allocate capacity 
$stack->allocate(120); 

// Display the stack capacity 
var_dump($stack->capacity()); 
?> 

Output: 
Allocated Space is: int(8)
Allocated space is: int(8)
