title: Create a Stack Class
---
## Create a Stack Class
### Method:
- Stack is an abstract data structure.
- Stack follows LIFO/FILO principle.
- In this challenge, we need to add `.push()`, `.pop()`, `.peek()`, `.isEmpty()` and `.clear()` methods to the class.
-
- `push()` method pushes value to the stack.
- `pop()` method pops the first value from the stack.
- `peek()` method returns the first value from the stack.
- `isEmpty()` method checks if ths stack is empty.
- `.clear()` method removes all the elements from the stack.

| Stack | n | n | 1 | 1 |
### Solution:
#### Basic:
```js
function Stack() {
var collection = [];
this.print = function() {
console.log(collection);
};
this.push = function(val){
return collection.push(val);
}
this.pop = function(){
return collection.pop();
}
this.peek = function(){
return collection[collection.length-1];
}
this.isEmpty = function(){
return collection.length === 0;
}
this.clear = function(){
collection.length = 0;
}
}
```
#### Advanced - ES6 Class syntax:
```js
class Stack {
constructor() {
this.collection = [];
}
print(){
console.log(this.collection);
}
push(val){
retiurn this.collection.push(val);
}
pop(){
return this.collection.pop();
}
peek(){
return this.collection[this.collection.length-1];
}
isEmpty(){
return this.collection.length === 0;
}
clear(){
return this.collection.length = 0;
}
}
```
