What is the purpose of the Peek() method in a Stack<T>?

Peek() returns the top element without removing it. It’s helpful for:

  • Conditional checks
  • Previewing what's next
  • Preventing accidental removal

Example:

if (stack.Count > 0)

var current = stack.Peek();

Throws InvalidOperationException if the stack is empty.
