Class FilterIterator<A,B>

java.lang.Object

net.cscott.jutil.UnmodifiableIterator<B>

net.cscott.jutil.FilterIterator<A,B>

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator<B>

public class FilterIterator<A,B>
extends UnmodifiableIterator<B>

A FilterIterator filters and maps a source Iterator to generate a new one. Note that this implementation reads one element ahead, so if the Filter changes for an object 'o' between the time that is read (when next() is called, returning the object preceding 'o', and checking that 'o' satisfies the current Filter) and the time when hasNext() is called, 'o' will still be returned, regardless of what Filter.isElement(o) returns. Thus, it is recommended that only Filters which remain consistent throughout the iteration be used.
