AbstractList iterator() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The

iterator()

method of

java.util.AbstractList

class is used to return an iterator over the elements in this list in proper sequence. This implementation returns a straightforward implementation of the iterator interface, relying on the backing list's size(), get(int), and remove(int) methods.

Syntax:

public Iterator iterator()

Returns Value:

This method returns an

iterator

over the elements in this list in proper sequence. Below are the examples to illustrate the

iterator()

method.

Example 1: Java


 // Java program to demonstrate
// iterator() method
// for Integer value

import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
        throws Exception
    {

        try {

            // Creating object of AbstractList<Integer>
            AbstractList<Integer>
                arrlist1 = new ArrayList<Integer>();

            // Populating arrlist1
            arrlist1.add(10);
            arrlist1.add(20);
            arrlist1.add(30);
            arrlist1.add(40);
            arrlist1.add(50);

            // print arrlist1
            System.out.println("ArrayList : "
                               + arrlist1);

            // creating object of Iterator
            // using iterator() method
            Iterator it = arrlist1.iterator();

            // printing the iterated value
            while (it.hasNext()) {
                System.out.println("Value is : "
                                   + it.next());
            }
        }

        catch (NullPointerException e) {
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

ArrayList : [10, 20, 30, 40, 50]
Value is : 10
Value is : 20
Value is : 30
Value is : 40
Value is : 50

Example 2: Java


 // Java program to demonstrate
// iterator() method
// for String value

import java.util.*;

public class GFG1 {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
        throws Exception
    {

        try {

            // Creating object of AbstractList<String>
            AbstractList<String>
                arrlist1 = new ArrayList<String>();

            // Populating arrlist1
            arrlist1.add("A");
            arrlist1.add("B");
            arrlist1.add("C");
            arrlist1.add("D");
            arrlist1.add("E");

            // print arrlist1
            System.out.println("ArrayList : "
                               + arrlist1);

            // creating object of Iterator
            // using iterator() method
            Iterator it = arrlist1.iterator();

            // printing the iterated value
            while (it.hasNext()) {
                System.out.println("Value is : "
                                   + it.next());
            }
        }

        catch (NullPointerException e) {
            System.out.println("Exception thrown : " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

ArrayList : [A, B, C, D, E]
Value is : A
Value is : B
Value is : C
Value is : D
Value is : E
