Iterators in Java

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/iterators-in-java/

Enumeration

Enumeration e = v.elements();
hasMoreElements();
nextElement();

Limitations of Enumeration

• only for legacy classes(Vector, Hashtable0 only. Hence it is not a universal iterator
• remove operations can’t be performed using Enumeration
• only forward direction iterating is possible

Iterator

It is a universal iterator as we can apply it to any Collection object.

// Here "c" is any Collection object.
Iterator itr = c.iterator();
hasNext();
next();
remove()

Limitations of Iterator

• only forward direction iterating is possible
• Replacement and addition of new element is not supported by Iterator.
