java Iterator的next()、previous()、set()究竟指向哪里？

初学时被搞迷糊了，看了源码才知道是什么意思。

An iterator for lists that allows the programmer to traverse the list in either direction, modify the list during iteration, and obtain the iterator’s current position in the list. A ListIterator has no current element; its cursor position always lies between the element that would be returned by a call to previous() and the element that would be returned by a call to next(). An iterator for a list of length n has n+1 possible cursor positions, as illustrated by the carets (^) below:

Note that the remove and set(Object) methods are not defined in terms of the cursor position; they are defined to operate on the last element returned by a call to next or previous().

iterator 不指向任何元素，它指向的是元素的间隔。
而set()所修改的元素，是其上一次调用next()或者previous()方法所返回的元素。

       LinkedList<Integer> nums = new LinkedList<Integer>();
        for(int i = 0; i < 5; ++i) nums.add(i);
        ListIterator<Integer> itr = nums.listIterator();
        for(;itr.hasNext();)
            System.out.print(itr.next()+" ");//遍历1
        itr.set(8848);
        
        System.out.print("\n");
        
        for(;itr.hasPrevious();)//遍历2
            System.out.print(itr.previous()+" ");
        
        System.out.print("\n");
        
        for(;itr.hasNext();){//遍历3
            System.out.print(itr.next()+" ");
        }

输出结果:

	0 1 2 3 4 
	8848 3 2 1 0 
	0 1 2 3 8848 

上面的iterator与list的关系如图：

当iterator的cursor为1，它的next()返回1，previous返回0
第一次遍历，cursor: 0 $\to$ 1 $\to$ 2 $\to$ 3 $\to$ 4 $\to$ 5，最后一次next的返回值是4，因此set修改的是4
回退时同理。
