Introduction
Learn how to reverse a String using Stack. In this example takes in an array based Stack.
Stack – Data Structure – Array-based and Linked list based implementation.
The followings are the steps to reversing a String using Stack.
- String to Char[].
- Create a Stack.
- Push all characters, one by one.
- Then Pop all characters, one by one and put into the char[].
- Finally, convert to the String.
public static String reverse(String str) {
char[] charArr = str.toCharArray();
int size = charArr.length;
Stack stack = new Stack(size);
int i;
for(i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
stack.push(charArr[i]);
}
for(i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
charArr[i] = stack.pop();
}
return String.valueOf(charArr);
}
Time complexity – O(n)
Space complexity – O(n)
Complete Example
class Stack {
private int top;
private int capacity;
private char[] array;
public Stack(int capacity) {
this.capacity = capacity;
this.array = new char[capacity];
this.top = -1;
}
public boolean isFull() {
return this.top == this.capacity - 1;
}
public boolean isEmpty() {
return this.top == -1;
}
public void push(char value) {
if(!this.isFull()) {
this.array[++this.top] = value;
}
}
public char pop() {
return this.isEmpty()?'\u0000':this.array[this.top--];
}
public static String reverse(String str) {
char[] charArr = str.toCharArray();
int size = charArr.length;
Stack stack = new Stack(size);
int i;
for(i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
stack.push(charArr[i]);
}
for(i = 0; i < size; ++i) {
charArr[i] = stack.pop();
}
return String.valueOf(charArr);
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String str = "MYDEVGEEK";
System.out.println(Stack.reverse(str));
}
