Class StridingCharIterator

java.lang.Object
com.github.tommyettinger.ds.support.util.StridingCharIterator
All Implemented Interfaces:
CharIterator, Iterator<Character>

public class StridingCharIterator extends Object implements CharIterator
Wraps a CharIterator so that it starts at an offset, skipping that many items, then returning items that match a given stride, such as every other item, or every tenth item. If the offset is 0, this will try to return the first item and then any items matching the stride, so if the stride is 2, it will return the first item, skip one item, return the item after that, skip, return, skip, return, etc. This has undefined behavior if any items the CharIterator could return are modified during iteration.
You can change the iterator, offset, and stride at once using set(CharIterator, int, int), and can also just change the iterator with set(CharIterator).

    • hasNext

      public boolean hasNext()
      Specified by:
      hasNext in interface Iterator<Character>
    • nextChar

      public char nextChar()
      Description copied from interface: CharIterator
      Returns the next char element in the iteration.
      Specified by:
      nextChar in interface CharIterator
      Returns:
      the next char element in the iteration
    • remove

      public void remove()
      NOTE: this does not change the stride or offset, so the same sequence of values will be returned regardless of if some elements are removed with this method.
      Specified by:
      remove in interface Iterator<Character>
