public class SimpleStack
extends ArrayList

A LIFO (last in, first out) unbounded stack of objects. A SimpleStack supports the following operations:

• add a new element to the top of the stack
• remove and return the element on the top of the stack
• return the element on the top of the stack

This class is similar to Stack except that it extends ArrayList rather than Vector and is therefore not thread safe. The top of the stack corresponds to the last element in the underlying list, whereas the bottom corresponds to the first.

The SimpleStack implementation supports null elements; however, if null elements are added, care must be taken to distinguish a null element returned from pop() or peek() from a null value that indicates the stack is empty.
