/**

 * The <code>Stack</code> class represents a last-in-first-out

 * (LIFO) stack of objects. It extends class <tt>Vector</tt> with five

 * operations that allow a vector to be treated as a stack. The usual

 * <tt>push</tt> and <tt>pop</tt> operations are provided, as well as a

 * method to <tt>peek</tt> at the top item on the stack, a method to test

 * for whether the stack is <tt>empty</tt>, and a method to <tt>search</tt>

 * the stack for an item and discover how far it is from the top.

 * <p>

 * When a stack is first created, it contains no items.

 *

 * <p>A more complete and consistent set of LIFO stack operations is

 * provided by the {@link Deque} interface and its implementations, which

 * should be used in preference to this class.  For example:

 * <pre>   {@code

 *   Deque<Integer> stack = new ArrayDeque<Integer>();}</pre>
