Method Detail

prune

void prune()

Signals this Traverser to not explore beyond the last node returned by next(). This method can be called only once per call to next(). After calling this method (and before calling next() again), remove(), getEdge(), and removeEdge() will all throw IllegalStateExceptions.

Throws:

IllegalStateException - if next() has not yet been called, or remove(), removeEdge, or prune() has been called after the last call to next().

UnsupportedOperationException - if this method is not supported by this Traverser.
