Questions tagged [iterator]
An iterator is an object-oriented programming pattern which for the most part functions similarly to a pointer to an object inside a collection with the added ability to traverse through the collection in a defined manner, agnostic of the actual implementation or even object addresses in physical memory. Iterators may be further limited in particular traversal directions.
