Iterator、Iterable接口的使用及详解
<div class="postBody">
<div id="cnblogs_post_body" class="blogpost-body"><p>Java集合类库将集合的接口与实现分离。同样的接口,可以有不同的实现。</p>
Java集合类的基本接口是Collection接口。而Collection接口必须继承java.lang.Iterable接口。
以下图表示集合框架的接口,java.lang以及java.util两个包里的。其他部分可以从左向右看,比如Collection的Subinterfaces有List,Set以及Queue等。
package java.util; /** * An iterator over a collection. Iterator takes the place of Enumeration in * the Java collections framework. Iterators differ from enumerations in two * ways: <ul> * <li> Iterators allow the caller to remove elements from the * underlying collection during the iteration with well-defined * semantics. * <li> Method names have been improved. * </ul><p> * * This interface is a member of the * <a href="{@docRoot}/../technotes/guides/collections/index.html"> * Java Collections Framework</a>. * * @author Josh Bloch * @version %I%, %G% * @see Collection * @see ListIterator * @see Enumeration * @since 1.2 */ public interface Iterator<E> { /** * Returns <tt>true</tt> if the iteration has more elements. (In other * words, returns <tt>true</tt> if <tt>next</tt> would return an element * rather than throwing an exception.) * * @return <tt>true</tt> if the iterator has more elements. */ boolean hasNext(); /** * Returns the next element (每一次迭代,the next element就是index为0的元素)in the iteration. * * @return the next element in the iteration. * @exception NoSuchElementException iteration has no more elements. */ E next(); /** * * Removes from the underlying collection the last element returned by the * iterator (optional operation). This method can be called only once per * call to <tt>next</tt>. The behavior of an iterator is unspecified if * the underlying collection is modified while the iteration is in * progress in any way other than by calling this method. * * @exception UnsupportedOperationException if the <tt>remove</tt> * operation is not supported by this Iterator. * @exception IllegalStateException if the <tt>next</tt> method has not * yet been called, or the <tt>remove</tt> method has already * been called after the last call to the <tt>next</tt> * method. */ void remove(); }
以下例子是利用了Iterator接口的着三个方法,实现遍历ArrayList<String>类型。
一开始迭代器在所有元素的左边,调用next()之后,迭代器移到第一个和第二个元素之间,next()方法返回迭代器刚刚经过的元素。
hasNext()若返回True,则表明接下来还有元素,迭代器不在尾部。
remove()方法必须和next方法一起使用,功能是去除刚刚next方法返回的元素。
import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Collection; import java.util.Iterator; public class ForEachDemo { public static void main(String... arg) { Collection<String> a = new ArrayList<String>(); a.add("Bob"); a.add("Alice"); a.add("Lisy"); Iterator<String> iterator = a.iterator(); while (iterator.hasNext()) { String ele = iterator.next(); System.out.println(ele);//Bob Alice Lisy } System.out.println(a);//[Bob, Alice, Lisy] iterator = a.iterator(); iterator.next(); iterator.remove(); System.out.println(a);//[Alice, Lisy] } }
package java.lang; import java.util.Iterator; /** Implementing this interface allows an object to be the target of * the "foreach" statement. * @since 1.5 */ public interface Iterable<T> { /** * Returns an iterator over a set of elements of type T. * * @return an Iterator. */ Iterator<T> iterator(); }
for-each循环可以与任何实现了Iterable接口的对象一起工作。
而java.util.Collection接口继承java.lang.Iterable,故标准类库中的任何集合都可以使用for-each循环。
Collection接口
此接口的方法
public interface Collection<E>{……}
Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
boolean |
add(E e)
Ensures that this collection contains the specified element (optional operation).
|
boolean |
addAll(Collection<? extends E> c)
Adds all of the elements in the specified collection to this collection (optional operation).
|
void |
clear()
Removes all of the elements from this collection (optional operation).
|
boolean |
contains(Object o)
Returns true if this collection contains the specified element.
|
boolean |
containsAll(Collection<?> c)
Returns true if this collection contains all of the elements in the specified collection.
|
boolean |
equals(Object o)
Compares the specified object with this collection for equality.
|
int |
hashCode()
Returns the hash code value for this collection.
|
boolean |
isEmpty()
Returns true if this collection contains no elements.
|
Iterator<E> |
iterator()
Returns an iterator over the elements in this collection.
|
boolean |
remove(Object o)
Removes a single instance of the specified element from this collection, if it is present (optional operation).
|
boolean |
removeAll(Collection<?> c)
Removes all of this collection’s elements that are also contained in the specified collection (optional operation).
|
boolean |
retainAll(Collection<?> c)
Retains only the elements in this collection that are contained in the specified collection (optional operation).
|
int |
size()
Returns the number of elements in this collection.
|
Object[] |
toArray()
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection.
|
<T> T[] |
toArray(T[] a)
Returns an array containing all of the elements in this collection; the runtime type of the returned array is that of the specified array.

因为其中有一个返回值为Iterator<E>类型的iterator()方法,所以,java.util.Collection接口必须继承java.lang.Iterable接口
实现Collection接口的每一个类都要实现以上众多方法,但开发者自己实现很麻烦。所以java提供了AbstractCollection类来编写具体的类。
java.util
Interface Collection<E>
- All Superinterfaces:
- Iterable<E>
- All Known Subinterfaces:
- BeanContext, BeanContextServices, BlockingDeque<E>, BlockingQueue<E>, Deque<E>, List<E>, NavigableSet<E>, Queue<E>, Set<E>, SortedSet<E>
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- AbstractCollection, AbstractList, AbstractQueue, AbstractSequentialList, AbstractSet, ArrayBlockingQueue, ArrayDeque, ArrayList, AttributeList, BeanContextServicesSupport, BeanContextSupport, ConcurrentLinkedQueue, ConcurrentSkipListSet, CopyOnWriteArrayList, CopyOnWriteArraySet, DelayQueue, EnumSet, HashSet, JobStateReasons, LinkedBlockingDeque, LinkedBlockingQueue, LinkedHashSet, LinkedList, PriorityBlockingQueue, PriorityQueue, RoleList, RoleUnresolvedList, Stack, SynchronousQueue, TreeSet, Vector
Collection接口有三个常用的子接口,分别是List,Set,Queue。

看一下JDK中的集合类,比如List一族或者Set一族,
都是继承了Iterable接口,但并不直接继承Iterator接口。
仔细想一下这么做是有道理的。因为Iterator接口的核心方法next()或者hasNext()
是依赖于迭代器的当前迭代位置的。
如果Collection直接继承Iterator接口,势必导致集合对象中包含当前迭代位置的数据(指针)。
当集合在不同方法间被传递时,由于当前迭代位置不可预置,那么next()方法的结果会变成不可预知。
除非再为Iterator接口添加一个reset()方法,用来重置当前迭代位置。
但即时这样,Collection也只能同时存在一个当前迭代位置。
而Iterable则不然,每次调用都会返回一个从头开始计数的迭代器。
多个迭代器是互不干扰的。
