Stack::Pop Method ()
Removes and returns the object at the top of the Stack.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | The Stack is empty. |
This method is similar to the Peek method, but Peek does not modify the Stack.
null can be pushed onto the Stack as a placeholder, if needed. To distinguish between a null value and the end of the stack, check the Count property or catch the InvalidOperationException, which is thrown when the Stack is empty.
This method is an O(1) operation.
The following example shows how to add elements to the Stack, remove elements from the Stack, or view the element at the top of the Stack.
using namespace System; using namespace System::Collections; void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myCollection, char mySeparator ); int main() { // Creates and initializes a new Stack. Stack^ myStack = gcnew Stack; myStack->Push( "The" ); myStack->Push( "quick" ); myStack->Push( "brown" ); myStack->Push( "fox" ); // Displays the Stack. Console::Write( "Stack values:" ); PrintValues( myStack, '\t' ); // Removes an element from the Stack. Console::WriteLine( "(Pop)\t\t{0}", myStack->Pop() ); // Displays the Stack. Console::Write( "Stack values:" ); PrintValues( myStack, '\t' ); // Removes another element from the Stack. Console::WriteLine( "(Pop)\t\t{0}", myStack->Pop() ); // Displays the Stack. Console::Write( "Stack values:" ); PrintValues( myStack, '\t' ); // Views the first element in the Stack but does not remove it. Console::WriteLine( "(Peek)\t\t{0}", myStack->Peek() ); // Displays the Stack. Console::Write( "Stack values:" ); PrintValues( myStack, '\t' ); } void PrintValues( IEnumerable^ myCollection, char mySeparator ) { IEnumerator^ myEnum = myCollection->GetEnumerator(); while ( myEnum->MoveNext() ) { Object^ obj = safe_cast<Object^>(myEnum->Current); Console::Write( "{0}{1}", mySeparator, obj ); } Console::WriteLine(); } /* This code produces the following output. Stack values: fox brown quick The (Pop) fox Stack values: brown quick The (Pop) brown Stack values: quick The (Peek) quick Stack values: quick The */
