StackArray.java

/**
 * This class implements a Stack using a regular array.
 * <p>
 * A stack is exactly what it sounds like. An element gets added to the top of
 * the stack and only the element on the top may be removed. This is an example
 * of an array implementation of a Stack. So an element can only be added/removed
 * from the end of the array. In theory stack have no fixed size, but with an
 * array implementation it does.
