stacks

[Justin Fox]

in my book they created a stack object like so..

Stack word = new Stack();

and they pushed and poped characters.

because the book didn't say that the Stack was a char Stack.

so you can push or pop any value in a stack?

and it doesn't matter?

so i could say

char A = a;
String string = hello;

word.push (A);
word.push (3);
word.push (string);

and i wouldn't get an error?

please clarify...

thanks

It shouldn't allow it, try and compile and run it.

Stack is not a stand alone data structure, it could be build on an array, linked list and in the case of Stack in the API it is built using Vector.
