public class Stack<E>
extends Vector<E>

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.

Since:
JDK1.0

Constructor Detail

Stack

public Stack()
Creates an empty Stack.

Method Detail

push

public E push(E item)
Pushes an item onto the top of this stack. This has exactly the same effect as:
 addElement(item)

Parameters:
item - the item to be pushed onto this stack.
Returns:
the item argument.
See Also:
Vector.addElement(E)

pop

public E pop()
Removes the object at the top of this stack and returns that object as the value of this function.

Returns:
The object at the top of this stack (the last item of the Vector object).
Throws:
EmptyStackException - if this stack is empty.

peek

public E peek()
Looks at the object at the top of this stack without removing it from the stack.

Returns:
the object at the top of this stack (the last item of the Vector object).
Throws:
EmptyStackException - if this stack is empty.

empty

public boolean empty()
Tests if this stack is empty.

Returns:
true if and only if this stack contains no items; false otherwise.

search

public 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 - the desired object.
Returns:
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.
