StackExample.java

import java.util.Stack;

/*
 Method 

 public int search(Object o)

 Parameters:
 
 o - the desired object.

 Returns:
 
 the 1-based position from the top of the stack where the object is located; 
 the return value -1 indicates that the object is not on the stack.

        /*
         * Returns the 1-based position where an object is on this stack. If the
         * object o occurs as an item in this stack, this method returns the

         * of the stack; the topmost item on the stack is considered to be at
         * distance 1. The equals method is used to compare o to the items in
         * this stack.

         * Stack [ 
         * Dog   - 1

         * Ball  - 3 
         * Apple - 4 ]

        int position = stack.search("Cat"); 
        System.out.println("position of 'Cat' : " + position + "\n");
        
        
        position = stack.search("Ball"); 
        System.out.println("position of 'Ball' : " + position + "\n");
        
    }

}

Output

stack : [Apple, Ball, Cat, Dog]

position of 'Cat' : 2

position of 'Ball' : 3
