public class Stack<E> extends Vector<E>
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>();capacityIncrement, elementCount, elementDatamodCount| Constructor and Description |
|---|
Stack()
Creates an empty Stack.
|
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
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.
