## Class ArrayListIterator<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.ArrayIterator<E>
  - - org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.ArrayListIterator<E>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterator<E>, ListIterator<E>, OrderedIterator<E>, ResettableIterator<E>, ResettableListIterator<E>

      public class ArrayListIterator<E>
      extends ArrayIterator<E>
      implements ResettableListIterator<E>

  Implements a `ListIterator` over an array.

  The array can be either an array of object or of primitives. If you know that you have an object array, the `ObjectArrayListIterator` class is a better choice, as it will perform better.

  This iterator does not support `add(Object)` or `ArrayIterator.remove()`, as the array cannot be changed in size. The `set(Object)` method is supported however.

- - ### Constructor Summary

    Constructors
    Constructor and Description
    `ArrayListIterator(Object array)` Constructs an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
    `ArrayListIterator(Object array, int startIndex)` Constructs an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.
    `ArrayListIterator(Object array, int startIndex, int endIndex)` Construct an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.

  - ### Method Summary

    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `add(Object o)` This iterator does not support modification of its backing collection, and so will always throw an `UnsupportedOperationException` when this method is invoked.
    `boolean` | `hasPrevious()` Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array.
    `E` | `next()` Gets the next element from the array.
    `int` | `nextIndex()` Gets the next index to be retrieved.
    `E` | `previous()` Gets the previous element from the array.
    `int` | `previousIndex()` Gets the index of the item to be retrieved if `previous()` is called.
    `void` | `reset()` Resets the iterator back to the start index.
    `void` | `set(Object o)` Sets the element under the cursor.

    - #### ArrayListIterator

          public ArrayListIterator(Object array)

      Constructs an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `array` is not an array.
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`

    - #### ArrayListIterator

          public ArrayListIterator(Object array,
                           int startIndex)

      Constructs an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
        `startIndex` - the index to start iterating at
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `array` is not an array.
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the start index is out of bounds

    - #### ArrayListIterator

          public ArrayListIterator(Object array,
                           int startIndex,
                           int endIndex)

      Construct an ArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
        `startIndex` - the index to start iterating at
        `endIndex` - the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `array` is not an array.
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the start or end index is out of bounds
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if end index is before the start
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### hasPrevious

          public boolean hasPrevious()

      Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array.
      Specified by:
        `hasPrevious` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Specified by:
        `hasPrevious` in interface `OrderedIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        true if there is a previous element to return

    - #### previous

          public E previous()

      Gets the previous element from the array.
      Specified by:
        `previous` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Specified by:
        `previous` in interface `OrderedIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the previous element
      Throws:
        `NoSuchElementException` - if there is no previous element

    - #### next

          public E next()

      Gets the next element from the array.
      Specified by:
        `next` in interface `Iterator<E>`
      Specified by:
        `next` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Overrides:
        `next` in class `ArrayIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the next element
      Throws:
        `NoSuchElementException` - if there is no next element

    - #### nextIndex

          public int nextIndex()

      Gets the next index to be retrieved.
      Specified by:
        `nextIndex` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the index of the item to be retrieved next

    - #### previousIndex

          public int previousIndex()

      Gets the index of the item to be retrieved if `previous()` is called.
      Specified by:
        `previousIndex` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the index of the item to be retrieved next

    - #### add

          public void add(Object o)

      This iterator does not support modification of its backing collection, and so will always throw an `UnsupportedOperationException` when this method is invoked.
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Parameters:
        `o` - the element to add
      Throws:
        `UnsupportedOperationException` - always thrown.
      See Also:
        `ListIterator.set(E)`

    - #### set

          public void set(Object o)

      Sets the element under the cursor.

      This method sets the element that was returned by the last call to `next()` of `previous()`.

      Note: `ListIterator` implementations that support `add()` and `remove()` only allow `set()` to be called once per call to `next()` or `previous` (see the `ListIterator` javadoc for more details). Since this implementation does not support `add()` or `remove()`, `set()` may be called as often as desired.

      Specified by:
        `set` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Parameters:
        `o` - the element to set
      Throws:
        `IllegalStateException` - if `next()` or `previous()` has not been called before `set(Object)`
      See Also:
        `ListIterator.set(E)`

    - #### reset

          public void reset()

      Resets the iterator back to the start index.
      Specified by:
        `reset` in interface `ResettableIterator<E>`
      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `ArrayIterator<E>`
