Class LongStack

java.lang.Object

edu.colorado.collections.LongStack

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Cloneable

public class LongStack
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Cloneable

A LongStack is a stack of long values. Limitations: (1) The capacity of one of these stacks can change after it's created, but the maximum capacity is limited by the amount of free memory on the machine. The constructor, ensureCapacity, push, and trimToSize will result in an OutOfMemoryError when free memory is exhausted. (2) A stack's capacity cannot exceed the maximum integer 2,147,483,647 (Integer.MAX_VALUE). Any attempt to create a larger capacity results in a failure due to an arithmetic overflow.

Constructor Detail

LongStack

public LongStack()

Initialize an empty stack with an initial capacity of 10. Note that the push method works efficiently (without needing more memory) until this capacity is reached. Postcondition: This stack is empty and has an initial capacity of 10.

Throws:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Indicates insufficient memory for: new long[10].

LongStack

public LongStack(int initialCapacity)

Initialize an empty stack with a specified initial capacity. Note that the push method works efficiently (without needing more memory) until this capacity is reached.

Parameters:

initialCapacity - the initial capacity of this stack Precondition: initialCapacity is non-negative. Postcondition: This stack is empty and has the given initial capacity.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - Indicates that initialCapacity is negative.

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Indicates insufficient memory for: new long[initialCapacity].

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Generate a copy of this stack.

Overrides:

clone in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

The return value is a copy of this stack. Subsequent changes to the copy will not affect the original, nor vice versa. Note that the return value must be type cast to a LongStack before it can be used.

Throws:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Indicates insufficient memory for creating the clone.

ensureCapacity

public void ensureCapacity(int minimumCapacity)

Change the current capacity of this stack.

Parameters:

minimumCapacity - the new capacity for this stack Postcondition: This stack's capacity has been changed to at least minimumCapacity. If the capacity was already at or greater than minimumCapacity, then the capacity is left unchanged.

Throws:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Indicates insufficient memory for: new long[minimumCapacity].

getCapacity

public int getCapacity()

Accessor method to get the current capacity of this stack. The push method works efficiently (without needing more memory) until this capacity is reached.

Returns:

the current capacity of this stack

isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()

Determine whether this stack is empty.

Returns:

true if this stack is empty; false otherwise.

peek

public long peek()

Get the top item of this stack, without removing the item. Precondition: This stack is not empty.

Returns:

the top item of the stack

Throws:

java.util.EmptyStackException - Indicates that this stack is empty.

pop

public long pop()

Get the top item, removing it from this stack. Precondition: This stack is not empty.

Returns:

The return value is the top item of this stack, and the item has been removed.

Throws:

java.util.EmptyStackException - Indicates that this stack is empty.

push

public void push(long item)

Push a new item onto this stack. If the addition would take this stack beyond its current capacity, then the capacity is increased before adding the new item. The new item may be the null reference.

Parameters:

item - the item to be pushed onto this stack Postcondition: The item has been pushed onto this stack.

Throws:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Indicates insufficient memory for increasing the stack's capacity. Note: An attempt to increase the capacity beyond Integer.MAX_VALUE will cause the stack to fail with an arithmetic overflow.

size

public int size()

Accessor method to determine the number of items in this stack.

Returns:

the number of items in this stack

trimToSize

public void trimToSize()

Reduce the current capacity of this stack to its actual size (i.e., the number of items it contains). Postcondition: This stack's capacity has been changed to its current size.

Throws:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError - Indicates insufficient memory for altering the capacity.
