public abstract class AbstractByteBidirectionalIterator
extends AbstractByteIterator
implements ByteBidirectionalIterator

An abstract class facilitating the creation of type-specific bidirectional iterators.

To create a type-specific bidirectional iterator, besides what is needed for an iterator you need both a method returning the previous element as primitive type and a method returning the previous element as an object. However, if you inherit from this class you need just one (anyone).

This class implements also a trivial version of back(int) that uses type-specific methods.

Method Summary

int	back(int n) This method just iterates the type-specific version of previous() for at most n times, stopping if BidirectionalIterator.hasPrevious() becomes false.
Byte	previous() Delegates to the corresponding type-specific method.
byte	previousByte() Delegates to the corresponding generic method.

Method Detail

previousByte

public byte previousByte()

Delegates to the corresponding generic method.

Specified by:

previousByte in interface ByteBidirectionalIterator

Returns:

the previous element in the iteration.

ListIterator.previous()

previous

public Byte previous()

Delegates to the corresponding type-specific method.

Specified by:

previous in interface BidirectionalIterator<Byte>

Returns:

the previous element from the collection.

ListIterator.previous()

back

public int back(int n)

This method just iterates the type-specific version of previous() for at most n times, stopping if BidirectionalIterator.hasPrevious() becomes false.

Specified by:

back in interface ByteBidirectionalIterator

Specified by:

back in interface ObjectBidirectionalIterator<Byte>

Parameters:

n - the number of elements to skip back.

Returns:

the number of elements actually skipped.
