+=== EVALUATOR OUTPUT ===
+EVALUATION: NEEDS_IMPROVEMENT
+
+FEEDBACK: The code implementation is correct in terms of functionality and time complexity, achieving O(1) for all operations. However, it lacks proper Javadoc documentation for the class and its methods, which is important for best practices. Adding Javadoc comments to describe the class and each method's purpose, parameters, and return values would improve the code.

+=== GENERATOR OUTPUT ===
+THOUGHTS: Adding Javadoc comments to the Stack implementation for clarity and documentation.
