Stack.ToString() Method in C# with examples

ToString method is inherited from the Object class which is used to get a string that represents the current object. It can also apply on the Stack. It returns a string which represents the current stack object.

Syntax: public virtual string ToString ();

Return Value: This method returns a String representation of the collection.

Example 1: In the below program, GetType() method is used to get the type of the current object. It will clarify whether the given Stack object is converted into the string or not.

// C# program to demonstrate
// Stack ToString() method
using System;
using System.Collections;

class GFG {

    public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        // Creating an Empty Stack
        Stack st = new Stack();

        // Use Push() method
        // to add elements to
        // the stack
        st.Push("Welcome");
        st.Push("To");
        st.Push("Geeks");
        st.Push("For");
        st.Push("Geeks");

        Console.WriteLine("The type of st before "+
                 "ToString Method: "+st.GetType());

        Console.WriteLine("After ToString Method: ");

        foreach(string str in st)
        {
            // Using ToString() method
            Console.WriteLine(str.ToString());
        }

        Console.WriteLine("The type of st after "+
            "ToString Method: "+st.ToString().GetType());
    }
}

Output:

The type of st before ToString Method: System.Collections.Stack
After ToString Method: 
Geeks
For
Geeks
To
Welcome
The type of st after ToString Method: System.String

Example 2:

// C# program to demonstrate
// Stack ToString() method
using System;
using System.Collections;

class GFG {

    public static void Main(String[] args)
    {
        // Creating an Empty Stack
        Stack st = new Stack();

        // Use Push() method
        // to add elements to
        // the stack
        st.Push(1);
        st.Push(2);
        st.Push(3);
        st.Push(4);
        st.Push(5);

        Console.WriteLine("The type of st before "+
                 "ToString Method: "+st.GetType());

        Console.WriteLine("After ToString Method: ");

        foreach(int i in st)
        {
            // Using ToString() method
            Console.WriteLine(i.ToString());
        }

        Console.WriteLine("The type of st after "+
            "ToString Method: "+st.ToString().GetType());
    }
}

Output:

The type of st before ToString Method: System.Collections.Stack
After ToString Method: 
5
4
3
2
1
The type of st after ToString Method: System.String
