Complete Java SE 8 Developer Bootcamp - Iterator

The video tutorial explains the concept of iterators in Java, focusing on their use in traversing collections. It covers the basic methods of the iterator interface, such as hasNext, next, and remove, and introduces the list iterator for bidirectional traversal. The tutorial also addresses common warnings related to raw types and emphasizes the importance of parameterizing collections. Practical examples demonstrate how to obtain and use iterators and list iterators, highlighting their differences and specific use cases.

What is the primary purpose of an iterator in Java?

• To store elements in a collection

• To modify elements in a collection

• To traverse elements in a collection

• To sort elements in a collection

Which method in the iterator interface checks if there are more elements to iterate over?

• previous()

• hasNext()

• next()

• remove()

Why might you see warnings when using an ArrayList without specifying a type?

• Because ArrayLists require a specific size

• Because ArrayLists are deprecated

• Because ArrayLists cannot be used in Java

• Because ArrayLists should be parameterized with a type

What additional functionality does a list iterator provide over a standard iterator?

• Ability to clone elements

• Ability to move in both directions

• Ability to sort elements

• Ability to add elements

For which type of collection is a list iterator specifically designed?

• Queues

• Sets

• Maps

• Lists
