    {
  
        // Creating an empty Stack
        Stack<String> STACK = new Stack<String>();
  
        // Stacking strings
        STACK.push("Geeks");
        STACK.push("4");
        STACK.push("Geeks");
        STACK.push("Welcomes");
        STACK.push("You");
  
        // Displaying the Stack
        System.out.println("The stack is: " + STACK);
  
        // Checking for the emptiness of stack
        System.out.println("Is the stack empty? " + 
                                      STACK.empty());
  
        // Popping out all the elements
        STACK.pop();
        STACK.pop();
        STACK.pop();
        STACK.pop();
        STACK.pop();
  
        // Checking for the emptiness of stack
        System.out.println("Is the stack empty? " + 
                                     STACK.empty());
    }
