Class CompoundIterator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterator
    public class CompoundIterator
extends Object
implements Iterator
    Implements the Iterator interface and combines two Iterator objects into one single Iterator.

    The constructor takes two Iterator arguments: parent and child. Calling next() on this Iterator will first try to return an element from the parent Iterator and once the parent Iterator does not have any more elements it will return elements from the child Iterator.
