Value Summary
val empty : Iterator[Nothing]
Method Summary
def flatten [T](its : Iterator[Iterator[T]]) : Iterator[T]
Create an iterator that is the concantenation of all iterators returned by a given iterator of iterators.
def from (start : Int, step : (Int) => Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = step(en) where e0 = start.
def from (start : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + 1 where e0 = start.
def from (start : Int, step : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + step where e0 = start.
def fromArray [a](xs : Array[a]) : Iterator[a]
def fromArray [a](xs : Array[a], start : Int, length : Int) : Iterator[a]
def fromCaseClass (n : Product) : Iterator[Any]
def fromProduct (n : Product) : Iterator[Any]
def fromString (str : java.lang.String) : Iterator[Char]
def fromValues [a](xs : a*) : Iterator[a]
def range (start : Int, end : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + 1 where e0 = start and ei < end. However, if start ≥ end, then it will return an empty range.
def range (start : Int, end : Int, step : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + step where e0 = start and elements are in the range between start (inclusive) and end (exclusive)
def range (start : Int, end : Int, step : (Int) => Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = step(en) where e0 = start and elements are in the range between start (inclusive) and end (exclusive)

Method Details
def single[a](x : a) : Iterator[a]
Parameters

def fromArray[a](xs : Array[a], start : Int, length : Int) : Iterator[a]
Parameters
xs - the array of elements
start - the start index
length - the length

@deprecated

def fromString(str : java.lang.String) : Iterator[Char]
Parameters
str - the given string
Returns
the iterator on str
Deprecated
replaced by str.elements
def fromProduct(n : Product) : Iterator[Any]
Parameters
n - the product arity
Returns
the iterator on Product<n>.
@deprecated

def fromCaseClass(n : Product) : Iterator[Any]
Deprecated
use fromProduct instead.
def range(start : Int, end : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + 1 where e0 = start and ei < end. However, if start ≥ end, then it will return an empty range.
Parameters
start - the start value of the iterator
end - the end value of the iterator
Returns
the iterator with values in range [start;end).
@throws(classOf[java.util.NoSuchElementException])

def range(start : Int, end : Int, step : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + step where e0 = start and elements are in the range between start (inclusive) and end (exclusive)
Parameters
start - the start value of the iterator
end - the end value of the iterator
step - the increment value of the iterator (must be positive or negative)
Returns
the iterator with values in range [start;end).
@throws(classOf[java.util.NoSuchElementException])

def range(start : Int, end : Int, step : (Int) => Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = step(en) where e0 = start and elements are in the range between start (inclusive) and end (exclusive)
Parameters
start - the start value of the iterator
end - the end value of the iterator
step - the increment function of the iterator, must be monotonically increasing or decreasing
Returns
the iterator with values in range [start;end).
def from(start : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + 1 where e0 = start.
Parameters
start - the start value of the iterator
Returns
the iterator starting at value start.
def from(start : Int, step : Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = en + step where e0 = start.
Parameters
start - the start value of the iterator
step - the increment value of the iterator
Returns
the iterator starting at value start.
def from(start : Int, step : (Int) => Int) : Iterator[Int]
Create an iterator with elements en+1 = step(en) where e0 = start.
Parameters
start - the start value of the iterator
step - the increment function of the iterator
Returns
the iterator starting at value start.
def flatten[T](its : Iterator[Iterator[T]]) : Iterator[T]
Create an iterator that is the concantenation of all iterators returned by a given iterator of iterators.
Parameters
its - The iterator which returns on each call to next a new iterator whose elements are to be concatenated to the result.
