Class EmptyIterator<T>

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.util.Iterator<T>

    public class EmptyIterator<T>
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.util.Iterator<T>
    A no-op iterator, for which hasNext() always returns false and next() throws NoSuchElementException.

    This is used (for instance) for HashMap when a hash bucket list is empty, so that iteration through the bucket list doesn't have to be special-cased.

    Note: for Java 8 we have taken out the implementation of the remove() method because the interface now implements it as we need it as a default method.
