Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition

Name

Stack<E>

Synopsis

This class implements a last-in-first-out (LIFO) stack of objects. push( ) puts an object on the top of the stack. pop( ) removes and returns the top object from the stack. peek( ) returns the top object without removing it. In Java 1.2, you can instead use a LinkedList as a stack.
