Interface Iterator<T>

Type Parameters:
T - Component type
All Superinterfaces:
Foldable<T>, Iterable<T>, Iterator<T>, Traversable<T>, Value<T>

public interface Iterator<T> extends Iterator<T>, Traversable<T>
io.vavr.collection.Iterator is a compositional replacement for java.util.Iterator whose purpose is to iterate once over a sequence of elements.

Note: Iterators encapsulate mutable state. They are not meant to be used concurrently by different threads. Do not reuse Iterators, e.g. after passing to List.ofAll(Iterable).

There are two abstract methods: hasNext for checking if there is a next element available, and next which removes the next element from the iterator and returns it. They can be called an arbitrary amount of times. If hasNext returns false, a call of next will throw a NoSuchElementException.

Caution: Other methods than hasNext and next can be called only once (exclusively). More specifically, after calling a method it cannot be guaranteed that the next call will succeed.

An Iterator that can be only used once because it is a traversal pointer into a collection, and not a collection itself.

      Returns a traversable formed from this traversable and another Iterable by combining corresponding elements in pairs. If one of the two collections is shorter than the other, placeholder elements are used to extend the shorter collection to the length of the longer.

      Description copied from interface: Traversable
      Takes the last n elements of this or all elements, if this length < n.

      The result is equivalent to sublist(max(0, min(length(), length() - n)), n), i.e. takeRight will not throw if n < 0 or n > length().

      Parameters:
      predicate - A condition tested subsequently for this elements.
      Returns:

      Parameters:
      predicate - A condition tested subsequently for the contained elements.
      Returns:
      a new instance consisting of all elements before the first one which does not satisfy the given predicate.
