java Stack tutorial with example program

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.

Alternativley you can use Deque for more operation.

Program

package com.candidjava.core;

import java.util.Stack;

public class StackExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Stack<String> st = new Stack<String>();
		st.push("hai");
		st.push("123");
		st.add("mathan");
		st.add("lst");
		st.add("mathan");
		st.add("lst");
		st.add("ramya");
		st.add("suji");
		st.add("ravathi");
		st.add("sri");

		System.out.println("stack ..  " + st);
		System.out.println("size ... " + st.size());

		st.pop();

		System.out.println("stack ..  " + st);
		System.out.println("size ... " + st.size());

	}

}
