Method Detail

contains

boolean contains(N n)

Linear search the stack for contains - not an efficient operation

Parameters:

n - - Object to test for containment

Returns:

boolean - true if n is contained somewhere in the stack

Parameters:

n - - element to push

Returns:

boolean - true if push succeeded

peek

show the current stack top

Returns:

N - the element at the top of the stack or null

pop

N pop()

pop and return the element from the top of the stack

Returns:

N - the element, or null if the stack is empty

size

int size()

Returns:

int - the size of the stack in number of elements

remainingCapacity

int remainingCapacity()

Returns:

int - the number of empty slots available in the stack

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

Returns:

boolean - true if stack is empty

clear

void clear()

clear the stack
