In this example we shall show you how to obtain a Vector Iterator, in order to iterate through a Vector’s elements. To obtain a Vector Iterator one should perform the following steps:
- Create a new Vector.
- Populate the vector with elements, with
add(E e)API method of Vector. - Invoke
iterator()API method of Vector, to get the Iterator. - Iterate through the elements of the collection, using
hasNext()andnext()methods of Iterator,
as described in the code snippet below.
package com.javacodegeeks.snippets.core;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class VectorIteratorExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create a Vector and populate it with elements
Vector vector = new Vector();
vector.add("element_1");
vector.add("element_2");
vector.add("element_3");
vector.add("element_4");
vector.add("element_5");
// The Iterator object is obtained using iterator() method
Iterator it = vector.iterator();
// To iterate through the elements of the collection we can use hasNext() and next() methods of Iterator
System.out.println("Vector elements :");
while(it.hasNext())
System.out.println(it.next());
}
}
Output:
Vector elements :
element_1
element_2
element_3
element_4
element_5
This was an example of how to obtain a Vector Iterator in Java.
