org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.AbstractIteratorDecorator<E>

org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.SkippingIterator<E>

Type Parameters:

E - the type of elements returned by this iterator.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterator<E>

public class SkippingIterator<E>
extends AbstractIteratorDecorator<E>

Decorates another iterator to skip the first N elements.

In case an offset parameter other than 0 is provided, the decorated iterator is immediately advanced to this position, skipping all elements before that position.

Since:

4.1

SkippingIterator

public SkippingIterator(Iterator<E> iterator,
 long offset)

Decorates the specified iterator to skip all elements until the iterator reaches the position at offset.

The iterator is immediately advanced until it reaches the position at offset, incurring O(n) time.

Parameters:

iterator - the iterator to be decorated

offset - the index of the first element of the decorated iterator to return

Throws:

NullPointerException - if iterator is null

IllegalArgumentException - if offset is negative

Method Details

next

public E next()

Description copied from class: AbstractIteratorDecorator

Specified by:

next in interface Iterator<E>

Overrides:

next in class AbstractIteratorDecorator<E>

remove

public void remove()

In case an offset other than 0 was specified, the underlying iterator will be advanced to this position upon creation. A call to remove() will still result in an IllegalStateException if no explicit call to next() has been made prior to calling remove().

Specified by:

remove in interface Iterator<E>

Overrides:

remove in class AbstractUntypedIteratorDecorator<E,E>
