Unwraps an iterator into a type-specific collection, with a limit on the number of elements.

This method iterates over the given type-specific iterator and stores the elements returned, up to a maximum of max, in the given type-specific collection. The number of actually unwrapped elements is returned (it may be less than max if the iterator emits less than max elements).

Parameters:

i - a type-specific iterator.

c - a type-specific collection array to contain the output of the iterator.

max - the maximum number of elements to unwrap.

Returns:

the number of elements unwrapped. Note that this is the number of elements returned by the iterator, which is not necessarily the number of elements that have been added to the collection (because of duplicates).

unwrap

                          CharCollection c)

Unwraps an iterator into a type-specific collection.

This method iterates over the given type-specific iterator and stores the elements returned in the given type-specific collection. The returned count on the number unwrapped elements is a long, so that it will work also with very large collections.

Parameters:

i - a type-specific iterator.

c - a type-specific collection to contain the output of the iterator.

Returns:

the number of elements unwrapped. Note that this is the number of elements returned by the iterator, which is not necessarily the number of elements that have been added to the collection (because of duplicates).

pour

public static int pour(CharIterator i,
                       CharCollection s,

asCharIterator

public static CharIterator asCharIterator(Iterator i)

Wraps a standard iterator into a type-specific iterator.

If i is already type-specific, it will returned and no new object will be generated.

Parameters:

i - an iterator.

Returns:

a type-specific iterator backed by i.
