An interface for getting items, one at a time, from an object.

The for-in construct transparently uses Iterator to test for the end of the iteration, and to get each item (or element).

If the object iterated over is changed during the iteration, the behavior is unspecified.

The Iterator is initially positioned before the first element. Before accessing the first element the iterator must thus be advanced using moveNext to point to the first element. If no element is left, then moveNext returns false, current returns null, and all further calls to moveNext will also return false.

A typical usage of an Iterator looks as follows:

var it = obj.iterator;
while (it.moveNext()) {
  use(it.current);
}

Properties

current → E

Returns the current element.

read-only
hashCode int

Get a hash code for this object.

read-only, inherited
runtimeType Type

A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Operators

operator ==(other) bool

The equality operator.

Methods

moveNext() bool

Moves to the next element.

noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic

noSuchMethod is invoked when users invoke a non-existent method on an object. The name of the method and the arguments of the invocation are passed to noSuchMethod in an Invocation. If noSuchMethod returns a value, that value becomes the result of the original invocation.

inherited
toString() String

Returns a string representation of this object.
