The containsAll() method of Java Stack is used to check whether two stacks contain the same elements or not. It takes one stack as a parameter and returns True if all of the elements of this stack is present in the other stack.
Syntax:
public boolean containsAll(Collection C)
Parameters: The parameter C is a Collection. This parameter refers to the stack whose elements occurrence is needed to be checked in this stack.
Return Value: The method returns True if this stack contains all the elements of other stack otherwise it returns False.
Below programs illustrate the Stack.containsAll() method:
Program 1:
// Java code to illustrate // Stack containsAll()   import java.util.*;   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" );           // prints the stack         System.out.println( "Stack 1: "                            + stack);           // Creating another empty stack         Stack<String>             stack2 = new Stack<String>();           // Use add() method to         // add elements in the stack         stack2.add( "Geeks" );         stack2.add( "for" );         stack2.add( "Geeks" );         stack2.add( "10" );         stack2.add( "20" );           // prints the stack         System.out.println( "Stack 2: "                            + stack2);           // Check if the stack         // contains same elements         System.out.println( "\nDoes stack 1 contains stack 2: "                            + stack.containsAll(stack2));     } } |
Stack 1: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20] Stack 2: [Geeks, for, Geeks, 10, 20] Does stack 1 contains stack 2: true
Program 2:
// Java code to illustrate boolean containsAll()   import java.util.*;   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" );           // prints the stack         System.out.println( "Stack 1: "                            + stack);           // Creating another empty stack         Stack<String>             stack2 = new Stack<String>();           // Use add() method to         // add elements in the stack         stack2.add( "10" );         stack2.add( "20" );           // prints the stack         System.out.println( "Stack 2: "                            + stack2);           // Check if the stack         // contains same elements         System.out.println( "\nDoes stack 1 contains stack 2: "                            + stack.containsAll(stack2));     } } |
Stack 1: [Geeks, for, Geeks] Stack 2: [10, 20] Does stack 1 contains stack 2: false
