equivalent to push() or pop() for arrays?

In Java an array has a fixed size (after initialisation), meaning that you can’t add or remove items from an array.

int[] i = new int[10];

The above snippet mean that the array of integers has a length of 10. It’s not possible add an eleventh integer, without re-assign the reference to a new array, like the following:

int[] i = new int[11];

In Java the package java.util contains all kinds of data structures that can handle adding and removing items from array-like collections. The classic data structure Stack has methods for push and pop.
