The Stack
class represents a last-in-first-out
(LIFO) stack of objects. It extends class Vector with five
operations that allow a vector to be treated as a stack. The usual
push and pop operations are provided, as well as a
method to peek at the top item on the stack, a method to test
for whether the stack is empty, and a method to search
the stack for an item and discover how far it is from the top.
When a stack is first created, it contains no items.
A more complete and consistent set of LIFO stack operations is
provided by the Deque
interface and its implementations, which
should be used in preference to this class. For example:
Deque<Integer> stack = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();

Stack()
Creates an empty Stack. |
Public methods | |
---|---|
boolean
|
empty()
Tests if this stack is empty. |
E
|
peek()
Looks at the object at the top of this stack without removing it from the stack. |
E
|
pop()
Removes the object at the top of this stack and returns that object as the value of this function. |
E
|
push(E item)
Pushes an item onto the top of this stack. |
int
|
search(Object o)
Returns the 1-based position where an object is on this stack. |

boolean empty ()
Tests if this stack is empty.
Returns | |
---|---|
boolean |
true if and only if this stack contains
no items; false otherwise.
|
E peek ()
Looks at the object at the top of this stack without removing it from the stack.
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
the object at the top of this stack (the last item of the Vector object). |
Throws | |
---|---|
EmptyStackException |
if this stack is empty. |
E pop ()
Removes the object at the top of this stack and returns that object as the value of this function.
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
The object at the top of this stack (the last item of the Vector object). |
Throws | |
---|---|
EmptyStackException |
if this stack is empty. |
E push (E item)
Pushes an item onto the top of this stack. This has exactly the same effect as:
addElement(item)
Parameters | |
---|---|
item |
E :
the item to be pushed onto this stack. |
Returns | |
---|---|
E |
the item argument. |
See also:
int search (Object o)
Returns the 1-based position where an object is on this stack. If the object o occurs as an item in this stack, this method returns the distance from the top of the stack of the occurrence nearest the top of the stack; the topmost item on the stack is considered to be at distance 1. The equals method is used to compare o to the items in this stack.
Parameters | |
---|---|
o |
Object :
the desired object. |
Returns | |
---|---|
int |
the 1-based position from the top of the stack where
the object is located; the return value -1
indicates that the object is not on the stack.
