E
- the type of elements returned by this iterator
public interface Iterator<E>
An iterator over a collection.
Iterator
takes the place of
Enumeration
in the Java Collections Framework. Iterators differ from enumerations in two ways:
This interface is a member of the Java Collections Framework.
Collection
, ListIterator
, Iterable
default void
forEachRemaining(Consumer<? super E> action)
Performs the given action for each remaining element until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception.
boolean
hasNext()
Returns true
if the iteration has more elements.
E
next()
Returns the next element in the iteration.
default void
remove()
Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned by this iterator (optional operation).
boolean hasNext()
Returns
true
if the iteration has more elements. (In other words, returns
true
if
next()
would return an element rather than throwing an exception.)
true
if the iteration has more elements
E next()
Returns the next element in the iteration.
NoSuchElementException
- if the iteration has no more elements
default void remove()
Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned by this iterator (optional operation). This method can be called only once per call to
next()
. The behavior of an iterator is unspecified if the underlying collection is modified while the iteration is in progress in any way other than by calling this method.
UnsupportedOperationException
and performs no other action.
UnsupportedOperationException
- if the remove
operation is not supported by this iterator
IllegalStateException
- if the next
method has not yet been called, or the remove
method has already been called after the last call to the next
method
default void forEachRemaining(Consumer<? super E> action)
Performs the given action for each remaining element until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception. Actions are performed in the order of iteration, if that order is specified. Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.
The default implementation behaves as if:
while (hasNext())
action.accept(next());
action
- The action to be performed for each element
NullPointerException
- if the specified action is null
