The subList() method of Java.util.Stack class is used to return a view of the portion of this Stack between the specified fromIndex, inclusive, and toIndex, exclusive. (If fromIndex and toIndex are equal, the returned Stack is empty.)

The returned Stack is backed by this Stack, so non-structural changes in the returned Stack are reflected in this Stack, and vice-versa. The returned Stack supports all of the optional Stack operations.

Syntax:

public Stack subList(int fromIndex, int toIndex)

Parameters: This method takes the following argument as a parameter.

  • fromIndex – low endpoint (inclusive) of the subList
  • toIndex – high endpoint (exclusive) of the subList

Returns Value: This method returns a view of the specified range within this Stack.

Exception: This method throws the following Exception.

  • IndexOutOfBoundsException – if an endpoint index value is out of range (fromIndex size)
  • IllegalArgumentException – if the endpoint indices are out of order (fromIndex > toIndex)

Below are the examples to illustrate the subList() method.

Example 1:




// Java program to demonstrate
// subList() method
// for String value
  
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
        throws Exception
    {
  
        try {
  
            // Creating object of Stack<Integer>
            Stack<String>
                stack = new Stack<String>();
  
            // Populating stack1
            stack.add("A");
            stack.add("B");
            stack.add("C");
            stack.add("D");
            stack.add("E");
  
            // print stack
            System.out.println("Original stack: "
                               + stack);
  
            // getting the subList
            // using subList() method
            List<String> stack2 = stack.subList(2, 4);
  
            // print the subList
            System.out.println("SubStack of stack: "
                               + stack2);
        }
  
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

Original stack: [A, B, C, D, E]
SubStack of stack: [C, D]

Example 2: For IndexOutOfBoundsException




// Java program to demonstrate
// subList() method
// for IndexOutOfBoundsException
  
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
        throws Exception
    {
        try {
  
            // Creating object of Stack<Integer>
            Stack<String>
                stack = new Stack<String>();
  
            // Populating stack1
            stack.add("A");
            stack.add("B");
            stack.add("C");
            stack.add("D");
            stack.add("E");
  
            // print stack
            System.out.println("Original stack: "
                               + stack);
  
            // getting the subList
            // using subList() method
            System.out.println("\nEnd index value is out of range");
            List<String> stack2 = stack.subList(2, 7);
  
            // print the subList
            System.out.println("SubStack of stack: "
                               + stack2);
        }
  
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

Original stack: [A, B, C, D, E]

End index value is out of range
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: toIndex = 7

Example 3: For IllegalArgumentException




// Java program to demonstrate
// subList() method
// for IllegalArgumentException
  
import java.util.*;
  
public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception
    {
        try {
  
            // Creating object of Stack<Integer>
            Stack<String>
                stack = new Stack<String>();
  
            // Populating stack1
            stack.add("A");
            stack.add("B");
            stack.add("C");
            stack.add("D");
            stack.add("E");
  
            // print stack
            System.out.println("Original stack: "
                               + stack);
  
            // getting the subList
            // using subList() method
            System.out.println("\nEndpoint indices "
                               + "are out of order"
                               + " (fromIndex > toIndex)");
            List<String> stack2 = stack.subList(7, 2);
  
            // print the subList
            System.out.println("SubStack of stack: "
                               + stack2);
        }
  
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

Original stack: [A, B, C, D, E]

Endpoint indices are out of order (fromIndex > toIndex)
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: fromIndex(7) > toIndex(2)
