Java Stack Methods With Examples

The Java Stack class implements a last-in, first-out (LIFO) stack of objects and provides several methods for stack manipulation. Key methods include push() to add items, pop() to remove the top item, peek() to view the top item without removing it, isEmpty() to check if the stack is empty, search() to find the position of an item, and size() to get the number of elements. Examples illustrate the usage of each method.

Java Stack Class - Methods with Examples

Java's Stack class (from the java.util package) is a collection class that implements a

last-in, first-out (LIFO) stack of objects. It provides various methods for interacting

with the stack, as listed below:

1. push(E item):

- Pushes an item onto the top of the stack.

- Syntax: stack.push(item);

Example:

Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();

stack.push(10);

stack.push(20);

stack.push(30);

2. pop():

- Removes and returns the top item of the stack.

- Syntax: E item = stack.pop();

Example:

Integer poppedItem = stack.pop(); // pops 30

3. peek():

- Returns the top item of the stack without removing it.

- Syntax: E item = stack.peek();


Example:

Integer topItem = stack.peek(); // returns 20 but does not remove it

4. isEmpty():

- Checks if the stack is empty.

- Syntax: boolean isEmpty = stack.isEmpty();

Example:

boolean emptyStatus = stack.isEmpty(); // returns false if there are elements in the stack

5. search(Object o):

- Returns the 1-based position of the element from the top of the stack.

- Returns -1 if the item is not found.

- Syntax: int position = stack.search(o);

Example:

int position = stack.search(10); // returns 1 if 10 is at the top

6. size():

- Returns the number of elements in the stack.

- Syntax: int size = stack.size();

Example:

int stackSize = stack.size(); // returns the number of elements in the stack
