/**
 * 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>
