Getting an enumerator that iterates through the Stack in C#
Stack<T>.GetEnumerator Method is used to get an IEnumerator that iterates through the Stack. And it comes under the System.Collections.Generic
namespace.
Syntax:
public System.Collections.Generic.Stack<T>.Enumerator GetEnumerator ();
Below programs illustrate the use of the above-discussed method:
Example 1:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class GFG {
public static void Main()
{
Stack< string > myStack = new Stack< string >();
myStack.Push( "Geeks" );
myStack.Push( "Geeks Classes" );
myStack.Push( "Noida" );
myStack.Push( "Data Structures" );
myStack.Push( "GeeksforGeeks" );
IEnumerator< string > enumerator =
myStack.GetEnumerator();
while (enumerator.MoveNext()) {
Console.WriteLine(enumerator.Current);
}
}
}
|
Output:
GeeksforGeeks
Data Structures
Noida
Geeks Classes
Geeks
Example 2:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
class GFG {
public static void Main()
{
Stack< int > myStack = new Stack< int >();
myStack.Push(2);
myStack.Push(3);
myStack.Push(4);
myStack.Push(5);
myStack.Push(6);
IEnumerator< int > enumerator =
myStack.GetEnumerator();
while (enumerator.MoveNext()) {
Console.WriteLine(enumerator.Current);
}
}
}

Note:
- The foreach statement of the C# language hides the complexity of the enumerators. Therefore, using foreach is recommended, instead of directly manipulating the enumerator.
- Enumerators can be used to read the data in the collection, but they cannot be used to modify the underlying collection.
- Current returns the same object until either MoveNext or Reset is called. MoveNext sets Current to the next element.
- An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding, modifying, or deleting elements, the enumerator is irrecoverably invalidated and its behavior is undefined.
- This method is an O(1) operation.
