All Implemented Interfaces:

java.util.Enumeration, java.util.Iterator

class ChainedHashtableIterator

extends AbstractIterator

A traversal of all the elements as they appear in a chained hashtable. No order is guaranteed. This iterator is not publically accessable and is used to implement ChainedHashtable's key and value iterators. This iteration returns objects that are instances of Association.

Typical use:

      ChainedHashtable h = new ChainedHashtable();
      // ...hashtable gets built up...
      Iterator hi = new ChainedHashtableIterator(h.data);
      while (hi.hasNext())
      {
          System.out.println(ai.next());
      }
 

Field Summary

protected List	data The list of values within the table.
protected java.util.Iterator	elements The iterator over the elements of the list.

Constructor Summary

ChainedHashtableIterator(List[] table)
Construct an iterator over a chained hashtable.

Method Summary

java.lang.Object	get() Get current value of iterator.
boolean	hasNext() Returns true iff there are unconsidered elements within the table.
java.lang.Object	next() Returns current value and increments iterator.
void	reset() Resets the iterator to point to the beginning of the chained table.
