    • Method Detail

      • add

        void add​(E object)
        Inserts the specified object into the list between next and previous. The object inserted will be the previous object.
        Parameters:

        Throws:
        java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if adding is not supported by the list being iterated.
        ClassCastException - if the class of the object is inappropriate for the list.
        IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be added to the list.

      • hasNext

        boolean hasNext()
        Returns whether there are more elements to iterate.
        Specified by:
        hasNext in interface Iterator<E>
        Returns:
        true if there are more elements, false otherwise.

        next()

      • hasPrevious

        boolean hasPrevious()
        Returns whether there are previous elements to iterate.
        Returns:
        true if there are previous elements, false otherwise.
        See Also:
        previous()

      • next

        E next()
        Returns the next object in the iteration.
        Specified by:
        next in interface Iterator<E>
        Returns:
        the next object.
        Throws:
        java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there are no more elements.
        See Also:
        hasNext()

      • nextIndex

        int nextIndex()
        Returns the index of the next object in the iteration.
        Returns:
        the index of the next object, or the size of the list if the iterator is at the end.
        Throws:
        java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there are no more elements.
        See Also:
        next()

      • previous

        E previous()
        Returns the previous object in the iteration.
        Returns:
        the previous object.
        Throws:
        java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there are no previous elements.
        See Also:
        hasPrevious()

      • previousIndex

        int previousIndex()
        Returns the index of the previous object in the iteration.
        Returns:
        the index of the previous object, or -1 if the iterator is at the beginning.
        Throws:
        java.util.NoSuchElementException - if there are no previous elements.
        See Also:
        previous()

      • remove

        void remove()
        Removes the last object returned by next or previous from the list.
        Specified by:
        remove in interface Iterator<E>
        Throws:
        java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if removing is not supported by the list being iterated.
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if next or previous have not been called, or remove or add have already been called after the last call to next or previous.

      • set

        void set​(E object)
        Replaces the last object returned by next or previous with the specified object.
        Parameters:
        object - the object to set.
        Throws:
        java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if setting is not supported by the list being iterated
        ClassCastException - if the class of the object is inappropriate for the list.
        IllegalArgumentException - if the object cannot be added to the list.
        java.lang.IllegalStateException - if next or previous have not been called, or remove or add have already been called after the last call to next or previous.
