Peeking Iterator

 

Given an Iterator class interface with methods: next() and hasNext(), design and implement a PeekingIterator that support the peek() operation -- it essentially peek() at the element that will be returned by the next call to next().

Example:

Assume that the iterator is initialized to the beginning of the list: [1,2,3].

Call next() gets you 1, the first element in the list.
Now you call peek() and it returns 2, the next element. Calling next() after that still return 2. 
You call next() the final time and it returns 3, the last element. 
Calling hasNext() after that should return false.

Follow up: How would you extend your design to be generic and work with all types, not just integer?

思路：就是用个变量保存之前peek过的值，还有boolean记录一下是否peek过，如果是，则每次返回peek的值，否则用interator.next();

    private Integer peekItem;
    private Iterator<Integer> iterator;
    private boolean haspeeked;
    
	public PeekingIterator(Iterator<Integer> iterator) {
	    this.iterator = iterator;
	    this.haspeeked = false;
        this.peekItem = null;
	}
	
    // Returns the next element in the iteration without advancing the iterator.
	public Integer peek() {
        if(!haspeeked) {
            peekItem = iterator.next();
            haspeeked = true;
            return peekItem;
        } else {
            return peekItem;
        }
	}
	
	// hasNext() and next() should behave the same as in the Iterator interface.
	// Override them if needed.
	@Override
	public Integer next() {
	    if(haspeeked) {
            haspeeked = false;
            Integer result = peekItem;
            peekItem = null;
            return result;
        } else {
            return iterator.next();
        }
	}
	
	@Override
	public boolean hasNext() {
	    return (haspeeked || iterator.hasNext());
	}
