self-referential
public class Person { private String name; private String address; private Person next; // a link to another Person object } Using only this one class, a linked structure can be created. One Person object contains a link to a second Person object. This second object also contains a reference to a Person, which contains another, and so on. This kind of relationship forms the basis of a linked list, which is a linked structure in which one object refers to the next, creating a linear ordering of the objects in the list.
peek
returns the top item from the stack but does not remove it.
