The **`pop` method** of the `Stack` class can remove the topmost element of the `Stack`. The `pop()` method is available in the `java.util.Stack` package of Java.

# 
#  Syntax

---
```
stack.pop()
```
---

##
## Return value

This method returns the removed element as the return value.
If the `Stack` is empty, then the `EmptyStackException` is thrown.

---
> **`Stack`** is a data structure that follows the *Last-In-First-Out* (LIFO) principle. We use it to store the collection of objects.

import java.util.Stack;
class StackPopExample  {
    public static void main( String args[] ) {
        // Creating Stack
        Stack<Integer> stack = new Stack<>();

        // add elememts 
        stack.push(1);
        stack.push(2);
        stack.push(3);
        System.out.println("The Stack is: " + stack);

        System.out.println("Stack pop : " + stack.pop());
        System.out.println("The Stack is: " + stack);

        System.out.println("Stack pop : " + stack.pop());
        System.out.println("The Stack is: " + stack);

        System.out.println("Stack pop : " + stack.pop());
        System.out.println("The Stack is: " + stack);
    }
}

## Explanation

In the code above, we have created a `Stack` object and added three elements `1,2,3` to it. We then used the `pop` method to remove the topmost element of the `Stack`.
