Constructs a new SingletonIterator optionally choosing if remove is a permitted operation.
Params:
  • object – the single object to return from the iterator

Is another object available from the iterator?

This returns true if the single object hasn't been returned yet.

Returns:true if the single object hasn't been returned yet
/** * Is another object available from the iterator? * <p> * This returns true if the single object hasn't been returned yet. * * @return true if the single object hasn't been returned yet */

Get the next object from the iterator.

This returns the single object if it hasn't been returned yet.

Throws:
Returns:the single object
/** * Get the next object from the iterator. * <p> * This returns the single object if it hasn't been returned yet. * * @return the single object * @throws NoSuchElementException if the single object has already * been returned */

Remove the object from this iterator.
Throws:
  • IllegalStateException – if the next method has not yet been called, or the remove method has already been called after the last call to the next method.
  • UnsupportedOperationException – if remove is not supported
/** * Remove the object from this iterator. * * @throws IllegalStateException if the <tt>next</tt> method has not * yet been called, or the <tt>remove</tt> method has already * been called after the last call to the <tt>next</tt> * method. * @throws UnsupportedOperationException if remove is not supported */

Reset the iterator to the start.
/** * Reset the iterator to the start. */
