Iterator

java.util.Iterator<E>
Known Indirect Subclasses

Class Overview

An iterator over a sequence of objects, such as a collection.

If a collection has been changed since the iterator was created, methods next and hasNext() may throw a ConcurrentModificationException. It is not possible to guarantee that this mechanism works in all cases of unsynchronized concurrent modification. It should only be used for debugging purposes. Iterators with this behavior are called fail-fast iterators.

Implementing Iterable and returning an Iterator allows your class to be used as a collection with the enhanced for loop.
