val push : 'a -> 'a t -> unit

push x s adds the element x at the top of stack s .

val pop : 'a t -> 'a

pop s removes and returns the topmost element in stack s , or raises Empty if the stack is empty.

val top : 'a t -> 'a

top s returns the topmost element in stack s , or raises Empty if the stack is empty.

val clear : 'a t -> unit

Discard all elements from a stack.

val copy : 'a t -> 'a t

Return a copy of the given stack.

val is_empty : 'a t -> bool

Return true if the given stack is empty, false otherwise.

val length : 'a t -> int

Return the number of elements in a stack.
