Java Stack

The document provides an overview of the Stack data structure in Java, which operates on a LIFO principle. It explains that the Stack class in Java is a legacy class that inherits from Vector and is thread-safe, but suggests using ArrayDeque for better efficiency in single-threaded environments. Additionally, it mentions that stacks can be created for various non-primitive data types such as Integer, Character, and Strings.

What is Stack?
The stack is a linear data structure, the
operations are performed in order LIFO
(Last In First Out) or FILO (First In Last
Out).

Stack - Java Collections


The Java Collection framework provides a Stack
class that models and implements a Stack data
structure.

Please note that the Stack class in Java is a


legacy class and inherits from Vector in Java. It
is a thread-safe class and hence involves
overhead. When we do not need thread safety.
It is recommended to use ArrayDeque for stack
implementation as it is more efficient in a
single-threaded environment.

Create an Stack

In this case, we have made an stack of type


Integer, but we can make stack for all other
non-primitive data types as well. Examples
include Character, Strings, Long etc.
