package org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators;

import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;

import org.apache.commons.collections4.ResettableIterator;

Implements an Iterator over any array.

The array can be either an array of object or of primitives. If you know that you have an object array, the ObjectArrayIterator class is a better choice, as it will perform better.

The iterator implements a reset method, allowing the reset of the iterator back to the start if required.

Type parameters:
  • <E> – the type of elements returned by this iterator
Since:1.0
