import java.util.NoSuchElementException;

A stack.

A stack must provide the classical push(Object) and pop() operations, but may be also peekable to some extent: it may provide just the top() function, or even a more powerful peek(int) method that provides access to all elements on the stack (indexed from the top, which has index 0).

public interface Stack<K> {
Pushes the given object on the stack.
Params:
  • o – the object that will become the new top of the stack.
/** Pushes the given object on the stack. * * @param o the object that will become the new top of the stack. */
void push(K o);
Pops the top off the stack.
Throws:
Returns:the top of the stack.
/** Pops the top off the stack. * * @return the top of the stack. * @throws NoSuchElementException if the stack is empty. */
K pop();
Checks whether the stack is empty.
Returns:true if the stack is empty.
/** Checks whether the stack is empty. * * @return true if the stack is empty. */
boolean isEmpty();
Peeks at the top of the stack (optional operation).

This default implementation returns peek(0).

Throws:
Returns:the top of the stack.
/** Peeks at the top of the stack (optional operation). * * <p>This default implementation returns {@link #peek(int) peek(0)}. * * @return the top of the stack. * @throws NoSuchElementException if the stack is empty. */
default K top() { return peek(0); }
Peeks at an element on the stack (optional operation).

This default implementation just throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

Params:
  • i – an index from the stop of the stack (0 represents the top).
Throws:
Returns:the i-th element on the stack.
/** Peeks at an element on the stack (optional operation). * * <p>This default implementation just throws an {@link UnsupportedOperationException}. * * @param i an index from the stop of the stack (0 represents the top). * @return the {@code i}-th element on the stack. * @throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if the designated element does not exist.. */
