Program to Implement Stacks DS in Java Assignment Solution.

Instructions

Objective

Write a java assignment program to implement stacks DS.

Requirements and Specifications

For this project, you will create two classes:

Stack.java
Main.java

Stack.Java is to be implemented like we did together on 3/24 and 3/26. You will create a private array in Stack that holds any values given to the stack. However, this time you will make it an array of Strings. Your Stack class must have the following: a Push() function, a Pop() function, and an IsEmpty() function. Push will return nothing, instead adding a String to the array. Pop() will remove and return the "top-most" String element in the stack, which should be the last item added to the array. IsEmpty() will return a bool for whether the array is empty or not. No System.out.print messages of any kind are allowed in the Stack class!

In Main.java, your goal is to create a stack of String objects and print them out. Create an array of Strings such that each element in the array is the name of a card. Create an ArrayList using this array. An example for this has been provided for your convenience:

Project_5_Sample_Code1.txtPreview the document

Notice how the elements are added into the array in an ordered fashion.

Create an empty Stack that can hold 52 elements. Using the java.util.Random package, use the Random function to randomly add elements from the ArrayList to the stack. As you add an element to the stack, remove it from the ArrayList. This way when the Stack is full, the ArrayList will be empty.

From here, Loop through and print all values from the stack. Use IsEmpty to check whether the Stack is empty. Use the return value from Pop() to get the top most value in order to print each value.

Goals

Get experience using Stacks.
Get experience creating custom classes.
Get experience with loops.
Experience with the java.util.Random class.
