import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.EmptyStackException;

An implementation of the Stack API that is based on an ArrayList instead of a Vector, so it is not synchronized to protect against multi-threaded access. The implementation is therefore operates faster in environments where you do not need to worry about multiple thread contention.

The removal order of an ArrayStack is based on insertion order: The most recently added element is removed first. The iteration order is not the same as the removal order. The iterator returns elements from the bottom up, whereas the remove() method removes them from the top down.

Unlike Stack, ArrayStack accepts null entries.

Constructs a new empty ArrayStack. The initial size is controlled by ArrayList and is currently 10.

Constructs a new empty ArrayStack with an initial size.

Return true if this stack is currently empty.

This method exists for compatibility with java.util.Stack. New users of this class should use isEmpty instead.

Returns:true if the stack is currently empty

Returns the top item off of this stack without removing it.
Throws:
Returns:the top item on the stack

Returns the n'th item down (zero-relative) from the top of this stack without removing it.
Params:
  • n – the number of items down to go

Pops the top item off of this stack and return it.

Pushes a new item onto the top of this stack. The pushed item is also returned. This is equivalent to calling add.
Params:
  • item – the item to be added

Returns the one-based position of the distance from the top that the specified object exists on this stack, where the top-most element is considered to be at distance 1. If the object is not present on the stack, return -1 instead. The equals() method is used to compare to the items in this stack.
Params:

Returns:the 1-based depth into the stack of the object, or -1 if not found
