<summary>Represents a variable size last-in-first-out (LIFO) collection of instances of the same specified type.</summary>
<remarks>
<format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[
## Remarks
<xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> is implemented as an array.
Stacks and queues are useful when you need temporary storage for information; that is, when you might want to discard an element after retrieving its value. Use <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Queue%601> if you need to access the information in the same order that it is stored in the collection. Use <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> if you need to access the information in reverse order.
Use the <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentStack%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> and <xref:System.Collections.Concurrent.ConcurrentQueue%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> types when you need to access the collection from multiple threads concurrently.
A common use for <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> is to preserve variable states during calls to other procedures.
Three main operations can be performed on a <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601?displayProperty=nameWithType> and its elements:
- <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Push%2A> inserts an element at the top of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601>.
- <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> removes an element from the top of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601>.
- <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Peek%2A> returns an element that is at the top of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> but does not remove it from the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601>.
The capacity of a <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> is the number of elements the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> can hold. As elements are added to a <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601>, the capacity is automatically increased as required by reallocating the internal array. The capacity can be decreased by calling <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.TrimExcess%2A>.
If <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> is less than the capacity of the stack, <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Push%2A> is an O(1) operation. If the capacity needs to be increased to accommodate the new element, <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Push%2A> becomes an O(`n`) operation, where `n` is <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A>. <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> is an O(1) operation.
<xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> accepts `null` as a valid value for reference types and allows duplicate elements.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates several methods of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> generic class. The code example creates a stack of strings with default capacity and uses the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Push%2A> method to push five strings onto the stack. The elements of the stack are enumerated, which does not change the state of the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop the first string off the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Peek%2A> method is used to look at the next item on the stack, and then the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop it off.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.ToArray%2A> method is used to create an array and copy the stack elements to it, then the array is passed to the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor that takes <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601>, creating a copy of the stack with the order of the elements reversed. The elements of the copy are displayed.
An array twice the size of the stack is created, and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.CopyTo%2A> method is used to copy the array elements beginning at the middle of the array. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor is used again to create a copy of the stack with the order of elements reversed; thus, the three null elements are at the end.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Contains%2A> method is used to show that the string "four" is in the first copy of the stack, after which the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Clear%2A> method clears the copy and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> property shows that the stack is empty.

<threadsafe>Public static (<see langword="Shared" /> in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
A <see cref="T:System.Collections.Generic.Stack`1" /> can support multiple readers concurrently, as long as the collection is not modified. Even so, enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can lock the collection during the entire enumeration. To allow the collection to be accessed by multiple threads for reading and writing, you must implement your own synchronization.</threadsafe>

<summary>Removes all objects from the <see cref="T:System.Collections.Generic.Stack`1" />.</summary>
<remarks>
<format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[
## Remarks
<xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> is set to zero, and references to other objects from elements of the collection are also released.
The capacity remains unchanged. To reset the capacity of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601>, call <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.TrimExcess%2A>. Trimming an empty <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> sets the capacity of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> to the default capacity.
This method is an O(`n`) operation, where `n` is <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A>.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates several methods of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> generic class, including the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Clear%2A> method.
The code example creates a stack of strings with default capacity and uses the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Push%2A> method to push five strings onto the stack. The elements of the stack are enumerated, which does not change the state of the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop the first string off the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Peek%2A> method is used to look at the next item on the stack, and then the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop it off.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.ToArray%2A> method is used to create an array and copy the stack elements to it, then the array is passed to the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor that takes <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601>, creating a copy of the stack with the order of the elements reversed. The elements of the copy are displayed.
An array twice the size of the stack is created, and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.CopyTo%2A> method is used to copy the array elements beginning at the middle of the array. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor is used again to create a copy of the stack with the order of elements reversed; thus, the three null elements are at the end.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Contains%2A> method is used to show that the string "four" is in the first copy of the stack, after which the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Clear%2A> method clears the copy and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> property shows that the stack is empty.

## Remarks
This method determines equality using the default equality comparer <xref:System.Collections.Generic.EqualityComparer%601.Default%2A?displayProperty=nameWithType> for `T`, the type of values in the list.
This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(`n`) operation, where `n` is <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A>.

## Remarks
The elements are copied onto the array in last-in-first-out (LIFO) order, similar to the order of the elements returned by a succession of calls to <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A>.
This method is an O(`n`) operation, where `n` is <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A>.

## Remarks
The capacity of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> is the number of elements that the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> can store. <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> is the number of elements that are actually in the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601>.
The capacity is always greater than or equal to <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A>. If <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> exceeds the capacity while adding elements, the capacity is increased by automatically reallocating the internal array before copying the old elements and adding the new elements.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates several properties and methods of the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> generic class, including the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> property.
The code example creates a stack of strings with default capacity and uses the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Push%2A> method to push five strings onto the stack. The elements of the stack are enumerated, which does not change the state of the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop the first string off the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Peek%2A> method is used to look at the next item on the stack, and then the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop it off.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.ToArray%2A> method is used to create an array and copy the stack elements to it, then the array is passed to the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor that takes <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601>, creating a copy of the stack with the order of the elements reversed. The elements of the copy are displayed.
An array twice the size of the stack is created, and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.CopyTo%2A> method is used to copy the array elements beginning at the middle of the array. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor is used again to create a copy of the stack with the order of elements reversed; thus, the three null elements are at the end.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Contains%2A> method is used to show that the string "four" is in the first copy of the stack, after which the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Clear%2A> method clears the copy and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> property shows that the stack is empty.

<format type="text/markdown"><![CDATA[
## Remarks
The `foreach` statement of the C# language (`for each` in C++, `For Each` in Visual Basic) hides the complexity of the enumerators. Therefore, using `foreach` is recommended, instead of directly manipulating the enumerator.
Enumerators can be used to read the data in the collection, but they cannot be used to modify the underlying collection.
Initially, the enumerator is positioned before the first element in the collection. At this position, <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.Current%2A> is undefined. Therefore, you must call <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> to advance the enumerator to the first element of the collection before reading the value of <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.Current%2A>.
<xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.Current%2A> returns the same object until <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> is called. <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> sets <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.Current%2A> to the next element.
If <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> passes the end of the collection, the enumerator is positioned after the last element in the collection and <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> returns `false`. When the enumerator is at this position, subsequent calls to <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> also return `false`. If the last call to <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> returned `false`, <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.Current%2A> is undefined. You cannot set <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.Current%2A> to the first element of the collection again; you must create a new enumerator instance instead.
An enumerator remains valid as long as the collection remains unchanged. If changes are made to the collection, such as adding, modifying, or deleting elements, the enumerator is irrecoverably invalidated and the next call to <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.MoveNext%2A> or <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Enumerator.System%23Collections%23IEnumerator%23Reset%2A> throws an <xref:System.InvalidOperationException>.
The enumerator does not have exclusive access to the collection; therefore, enumerating through a collection is intrinsically not a thread-safe procedure. To guarantee thread safety during enumeration, you can lock the collection during the entire enumeration. To allow the collection to be accessed by multiple threads for reading and writing, you must implement your own synchronization.
Default implementations of collections in <xref:System.Collections.Generic?displayProperty=nameWithType> are not synchronized.
This method is an O(1) operation.
## Examples
The following code example demonstrates that the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> generic class is enumerable. The `foreach` statement (`For Each` in Visual Basic, `for each` in C++) is used to enumerate the stack.
The code example creates a stack of strings with default capacity and uses the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Push%2A> method to push five strings onto the stack. The elements of the stack are enumerated, which does not change the state of the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop the first string off the stack. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Peek%2A> method is used to look at the next item on the stack, and then the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method is used to pop it off.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.ToArray%2A> method is used to create an array and copy the stack elements to it, then the array is passed to the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor that takes <xref:System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable%601>, creating a copy of the stack with the order of the elements reversed. The elements of the copy are displayed.
An array twice the size of the stack is created, and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.CopyTo%2A> method is used to copy the array elements beginning at the middle of the array. The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.%23ctor%2A> constructor is used again to create a copy of the stack with the order of elements reversed; thus, the three null elements are at the end.
The <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Contains%2A> method is used to show that the string "four" is in the first copy of the stack, after which the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Clear%2A> method clears the copy and the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Count%2A> property shows that the stack is empty.

## Remarks
This method is similar to the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Pop%2A> method, but <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601.Peek%2A> does not modify the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601>.
If type `T` is a reference type, `null` can be pushed onto the <xref:System.Collections.Generic.Stack%601> as a placeholder, if needed.
This method is an O(1) operation.
