Iterators are data structures that allow to iterate over a sequence
of elements. They have a hasNext
method for checking
if there is a next element available, and a next
method
which returns the next element and advances the iterator.
An iterator is mutable: most operations on it change its state. While it is often used to iterate through the elements of a collection, it can also be used without being backed by any collection (see constructors on the companion object).
It is of particular importance to note that, unless stated otherwise, one should never
use an iterator after calling a method on it. The two most important exceptions
are also the sole abstract methods: next
and hasNext
.
Both these methods can be called any number of times without having to discard the
iterator. Note that even hasNext
may cause mutation -- such as when iterating
from an input stream, where it will block until the stream is closed or some
input becomes available.
Consider this example for safe and unsafe use:
def f[A](it: Iterator[A]) = {
if (it.hasNext) { // Safe to reuse "it" after "hasNext"
it.next() // Safe to reuse "it" after "next"
val remainder = it.drop(2) // it is *not* safe to use "it" again after this line!
remainder.take(2) // it is *not* safe to use "remainder" after this line!
} else it
}

Splits this collection into a prefix/suffix pair at a given position.

.
Note: might return different results for different runs, unless the underlying collection type is ordered.

Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.
Returns a scala.collection.Stepper for the elements of this collection.
The Stepper enables creating a Java stream to operate on the collection, see scala.jdk.StreamConverters. For collections holding primitive values, the Stepper can be used as an iterator which doesn't box the elements.
The implicit scala.collection.StepperShape parameter defines the resulting Stepper type according to the element type of this collection.
For collections of
Int
,Short
,Byte
orChar
, an scala.collection.IntStepper is returnedFor collections of
Double
orFloat
, a scala.collection.DoubleStepper is returnedFor collections of
Long
a scala.collection.LongStepper is returnedFor any other element type, an scala.collection.AnyStepper is returned
Note that this method is overridden in subclasses and the return type is refined to
S with EfficientSplit
, for example scala.collection.IndexedSeqOps.stepper. For Steppers marked with
scala.collection.Stepper.EfficientSplit, the converters in scala.jdk.StreamConverters
allow creating parallel streams, whereas bare Steppers can be converted only to sequential
streams.
