how to convert a Java array to a java stack?

[pompeez]

Hi,
I would like to convert a Java Arraylist/array/list to an equivalent Java stack, such that the last element in the array becomes the forst element in the stack. The array I have is nested.
Thanks for your time!

The following code shows how to convert an array into a stack. If you have a List to start with simply skip step 1.

Code:

String[] stuff = {"this", "and", "that"};
		List<String> list = Arrays.asList(stuff); //1 Convert to a List
		Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>(); //2 Create new stack
		stack.addAll(list); //3 Add all items from the List to the stack.

Hope that sorts you out,
Shane.

Oops I misread that you needed to reverse add it all so replace number 3 above with:
List

Code:

for(int i = list.size() - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
stack.add(list.get(i));
}

Array
Remove step 1 as its not needed anymore.

Code:

for(int i = stuff.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
stack.add(stuff[i]);
}
