11 * The <code>Stack</code> class represents a last-in-first-out
12 * (LIFO) stack of objects. It extends class <tt>Vector</tt> with five
13 * operations that allow a vector to be treated as a stack. The usual
14 * <tt>push</tt> and <tt>pop</tt> operations are provided, as well as a
15 * method to <tt>peek</tt> at the top item on the stack, a method to test
16 * for whether the stack is <tt>empty</tt>, and a method to <tt>search</tt>
17 * the stack for an item and discover how far it is from the top.
18 * <p>
19 * When a stack is first created, it contains no items.
20 *
21 * <p>A more complete and consistent set of LIFO stack operations is
22 * provided by the {@link Deque} interface and its implementations, which
23 * should be used in preference to this class. For example:
24 * <pre> {@code
25 * Deque<Integer> stack = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();}</pre>
