every time i run the program it prints out 0. I think something is wrong with my display function but i cant see the problem.

#include <iostream>
       using namespace std;
        #define STACKSIZE 10
        class stack
        {
                private:
                        int arr[STACKSIZE+1];
                        int tos;
                public:
                        stack();
                        void push(int x);
                        int  pop();
                        bool is_empty();
                        bool is_full();
                        int  size();
                        void display();
        };
 
        stack::stack()
        {
                tos = 0;
        }
 
        void stack::push(int x)
        {
                if(!is_full())
                        arr[tos++] = x;
                else
                        cout << "Stack is full, Can not push " << x << endl;
        }

                        return arr[--tos];
                else

                else
                        return false;
        }

        int main()

You never call your display function. On line 82 you have cout << mystack.size() << endl; , which is where your zero comes from.

the for loop on the display function should probably be for(int i=0;i<tos;i++)

try this.

#include <iostream>
       using namespace std;
        #define STACKSIZE 10
        class stack
        {
                private:
                        int arr[STACKSIZE+1];
                        int tos;
                public:
                        stack();
                        void push(int x);
                        int  pop();
                        bool is_empty();
                        bool is_full();
                        int  size();
                        void display();
        };

        stack::stack()
        {
                tos = 0;
        }

        void stack::push(int x)
        {
                if(!is_full())
                        arr[tos++] = x;
                else
                        cout << "Stack is full, Can not push " << x << endl;
        }

        int stack::pop()
        {

                        return arr[--tos];

				}
