Interface Iterable<T>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of elements returned by the iterator

public interface Iterable<T>

Implementing this interface allows an object to be the target of the enhanced for statement (sometimes called the "for-each loop" statement).

Since:

1.5

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
default void	forEach(java.util.function.Consumer<? super T> action)	Performs the given action for each element of the Iterable until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception.
java.util.Iterator<T>	iterator()	Returns an iterator over elements of type T.
default java.util.Spliterator<T>	spliterator()	Creates a Spliterator over the elements described by this Iterable.

Method Detail

iterator

java.util.Iterator<T> iterator()

Returns an iterator over elements of type T.

Returns:

an Iterator.

forEach

default void forEach(java.util.function.Consumer<? super T> action)

Performs the given action for each element of the Iterable until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception. Actions are performed in the order of iteration, if that order is specified. Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.

The behavior of this method is unspecified if the action performs side-effects that modify the underlying source of elements, unless an overriding class has specified a concurrent modification policy.

Parameters:

action - The action to be performed for each element

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the specified action is null

Since:

1.8

spliterator

default java.util.Spliterator<T> spliterator()

Creates a Spliterator over the elements described by this Iterable.

Returns:

a Spliterator over the elements described by this Iterable.

1.8
