Stack add(int, Object) method in Java with Example

The add(int, Object) method of Stack Class inserts an element at a specified index in the Stack. It shifts the element currently at that position (if any) and any subsequent elements to the right (will change their indices by adding one).

Syntax:

void add(int index, Object element)

Parameters: This method accepts two parameters as described below.

index: The index at which the specified element is to be inserted.
element: The element which is needed to be inserted.

Return Value: This method does not return any value.

Exception: The method throws IndexOutOfBoundsException if the specified index is out of range of the size of the Stack.

Below program illustrates the working of java.util.Stack.add(int index, Object element) method:

Example:

// Java code to illustrate boolean add(Object element) 
import java.util.*; 
  
public class StackDemo { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
  
        // Creating an empty Stack 
        Stack<String> stack = new Stack<String>(); 
  
        // Use add() method to add elements in the Stack 
        stack.add("Geeks"); 
        stack.add("for"); 
        stack.add("Geeks"); 
        stack.add("10"); 
        stack.add("20"); 
  
        // Output the present Stack 
        System.out.println("The Stack is: " + stack); 
  
        // Adding new elements 
        stack.add(2, "Last"); 
        stack.add(4, "Element"); 
  
        // Printing the new Stack 
        System.out.println("The new Stack is: " + stack); 
    } 
} 

Output:

The Stack is: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20]
The new Stack is: [Geeks, for, Last, Geeks, Element, 10, 20]

Example 2:

// Java code to illustrate 
// boolean add(Object element) 
  
import java.util.*; 
  
public class StackDemo { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
  
        // Creating an empty Stack 
        Stack<Integer> stack 
            = new Stack<Integer>(); 
  
        // Use add() method 
        // to add elements in the Stack 
        stack.add(10); 
        stack.add(20); 
        stack.add(30); 
        stack.add(40); 
        stack.add(50); 
  
        // Output the present Stack 
        System.out.println("The Stack is: "
                           + stack); 
  
        // Adding new elements 
        stack.add(0, 100); 
        stack.add(3, 200); 
  
        // Printing the new Stack 
        System.out.println("The new Stack is: "
                           + stack); 
    } 
} 

Output:

The Stack is: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
The new Stack is: [100, 10, 20, 200, 30, 40, 50]
