The addAll(Collection) method of Stack Class is used to append all of the elements from the collection passed as a parameter to this function to the end of a Stack keeping in mind the order of return by the collection’s iterator.
Syntax:
boolean addAll(Collection C)
Parameters: The method accepts a mandatory parameter C which is a collection of ArrayList. It is the collection whose elements are needed to be appended at the end of the Stack.
Return Value: The method returns True if at least one action of append is performed, else False.
Below program illustrate the Java.util.Stack.addAll() method:
// Java code to illustrate boolean addAll() import java.util.*; import java.util.ArrayList;   public class GFG {     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" );           // A collection is created         Collection<String> c = new ArrayList<String>();         c.add( "A" );         c.add( "Computer" );         c.add( "Portal" );         c.add( "for" );         c.add( "Geeks" );           // Displaying the Stack         System.out.println( "The Stack is: " + stack);           // Appending the collection to the Stack         stack.addAll(c);           // Clearing the Stack using clear() and displaying         System.out.println( "The new Stack is: " + stack);     } } |
The Stack is: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20] The new Stack is: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20, A, Computer, Portal, for, Geeks]
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 );           // A collection is created         Collection<Integer> c = new ArrayList<Integer>();         c.add( 1 );         c.add( 2 );         c.add( 3 );           // Displaying the Stack         System.out.println( "The Stack is: " + stack);           // Appending the collection to the Stack         stack.addAll(c);           // Clearing the Stack using clear() and displaying         System.out.println( "The new Stack is: " + stack);     } } |
The Stack is: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50] The new Stack is: [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 1, 2, 3]
