Method Details

cast

public static <A> Iterator<A> cast(Iterator<? extends A> iterator)

Forgets a wildcard in the element type of a given iterator.

Parameters:

iterator - an iterator

Returns:

the same iterator

empty

public static <E> Iterator<E> empty()

Returns an iterator consisting of no elements.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by the returned iterator

Returns:

an iterator that has no elements

singleton

public static <E> Iterator<E> singleton(E value)

Returns an iterator consisting of exactly one given element. The element is not removable.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by the returned iterator

Parameters:

value - the single element of the returned iterator

Returns:

an iterator that has exactly the given element

of

@SafeVarargs
public static <E> Iterator<E> of(E... things)

Returns an iterator consisting of exactly the given elements. Elements are not removable.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by the returned iterator

Parameters:

things - the elements of the returned iterator

Returns:

an iterator that has exactly the given elements

cons

public static <E> Iterator<E> cons(E first,
 Iterator<E> rest)

Returns an iterator consisting of the given first element preceding the remaining elements of a given iterator. The first element is not removable. Further removal requests are passed through to the underlying iterator.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by the returned iterator

Parameters:

first - the first element

rest - the iterator of the succeeding elements

Returns:

an iterator that returns the first element followed by the remaining elements of rest

Throws:

NullPointerException - if rest == null

concat

public static <E> Iterator<E> concat(Iterator<? extends E> first,
 Iterator<? extends E> second)

Returns an iterator consisting of the combined elements of two given iterators in order. Removal requests are passed through to the underlying iterators.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by the returned iterator

Parameters:

first - the first iterator to consult for elements

second - the second iterator to consult for elements

Returns:

an iterator that returns all remaining elements of first, followed by all remaining elements of second

Throws:

NullPointerException - if first == null or second == null

flatten

public static <E> Iterator<E> flatten(Iterator<? extends Iterator<? extends E>> iterators)

Returns an iterator consisting of the combined elements of all iterators returned by a given iterator in order. Removal requests are passed through to the underlying iterators.

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by the returned iterator

Parameters:

iterators - the iterators to be combined

Returns:

the combined interator

Throws:

NullPointerException - if iterators == null or one in the list is ==null.

F> Iterator<F> bind(Function<? super E,? extends Iterator<? extends F>> fun,
 Iterator<E> things)

filter

public static <E> Iterator<E> filter(Predicate<? super E> pred,
 Iterator<E> i)

Returns an iterator consisting of the remaining elements of a given iterator that match the given predicate. Removal requests are passed through to the underlying iterator.

map

public static <A,
B> Iterator<B> map(Function<? super A,? extends B> fun,
 Iterator<A> it)

Returns an iterator consisting of the results of applying the given function to the remaining elements of a given iterator. Removal requests are passed through to the underlying iterator.
