Package org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators

Class ObjectArrayIterator<E>

java.lang.Object

org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.ObjectArrayIterator<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type to iterate over

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator<E>, ResettableIterator<E>

Direct Known Subclasses:

ObjectArrayListIterator

public class ObjectArrayIterator<E>
extends Object
implements ResettableIterator<E>

An Iterator over an array of objects.

This iterator does not support remove(), as the object array cannot be structurally modified.

The iterator implements a reset() method, allowing the reset of the iterator back to the start if required.

Since:

3.0

Constructor Detail

ObjectArrayIterator

public ObjectArrayIterator(E... array)

Constructs an ObjectArrayIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.

Parameters:

array - the array to iterate over

Throws:

NullPointerException - if array is null

ObjectArrayIterator

public ObjectArrayIterator(E[] array,
                           int start)

Constructs an ObjectArrayIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.

Parameters:

array - the array to iterate over

start - the index to start iterating at

Throws:

NullPointerException - if array is null

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the start index is out of bounds

ObjectArrayIterator

public ObjectArrayIterator(E[] array,
                           int start,
                           int end)

Construct an ObjectArrayIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.

Parameters:

array - the array to iterate over

start - the index to start iterating at

end - the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the start or end index is out of bounds

IllegalArgumentException - if end index is before the start

NullPointerException - if array is null

Method Detail

hasNext

public boolean hasNext()

Returns true if there are more elements to return from the array.

Specified by:

hasNext in interface Iterator<E>

Returns:

true if there is a next element to return

next

public E next()

Returns the next element in the array.

Specified by:

next in interface Iterator<E>

Returns:

the next element in the array

Throws:

NoSuchElementException - if all the elements in the array have already been returned

remove

public void remove()

Throws UnsupportedOperationException.

Specified by:

remove in interface Iterator<E>

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - always

getArray

public E[] getArray()

Gets the array that this iterator is iterating over.

Returns:

the array this iterator iterates over

getStartIndex

public int getStartIndex()

Gets the start index to loop from.

Returns:

the start index

getEndIndex

public int getEndIndex()

Gets the end index to loop to.

Returns:

the end index

reset

public void reset()

Resets the iterator back to the start index.

Specified by:

reset in interface ResettableIterator<E>
