java.util.Stack

import java.util.Stack;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Stack stack = new Stack<>();
        stack.push("a");
        stack.push("b");
        stack.push("c");

        System.out.println("********************* pop **************");
        Object popVal = stack.pop();
        System.out.println(popVal);
        System.out.println(stack.size());

        System.out.println("********************* peek **************");
        Object peekVal = stack.peek();
        System.out.println(peekVal);
        System.out.println(stack.size());

        System.out.println("********************* empty **************");
        System.out.println(stack.isEmpty());
        System.out.println(stack.empty());
        System.out.println(stack.isEmpty());
        System.out.println(stack.size());

        System.out.println("********************* clear **************");
        stack.clear();
        System.out.println(stack.empty());
        System.out.println(stack.isEmpty());
        System.out.println(stack.size());

    }
}

结果：

********************* pop **************
c
2
********************* peek **************
b
2
********************* empty **************
false
false
false
2
********************* clear **************
true
true
0

 实现原理：

Stack继承自Vector,通过Vector里面的方法定义自己的push、pop、peek、empty、search方法实现栈的功能。

/**
 * The <code>Stack</code> class represents a last-in-first-out
 * (LIFO) stack of objects. It extends class <tt>Vector</tt> with five
 * operations that allow a vector to be treated as a stack. The usual
 * <tt>push</tt> and <tt>pop</tt> operations are provided, as well as a
 * method to <tt>peek</tt> at the top item on the stack, a method to test
 * for whether the stack is <tt>empty</tt>, and a method to <tt>search</tt>
 * the stack for an item and discover how far it is from the top.
 * <p>
 * When a stack is first created, it contains no items.
 *
 * <p>A more complete and consistent set of LIFO stack operations is
 * provided by the {@link Deque} interface and its implementations, which
 * should be used in preference to this class.  For example:
 * <pre>   {@code
 *   Deque<Integer> stack = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();}</pre>
