See Also:

isNullOrEmpty(Iterator)

size

public static int size(java.util.Iterator<?> iterator)

Returns the number of elements in iterator. The given iterator is left exhausted.

Parameters:

iterator - the iterator. May not be null.

Returns:

the number of elements in iterator.

reduce

public static <T> T reduce(java.util.Iterator<? extends T> iterator,
           Functions.Function2<? super T,? super T,? extends T> function)

Applies the combinator function to all elements of the iterator in turn.

One of the function parameters is an element of the iterator, and the other is the result of previous application of the function. The seed of the operation is the first element in the iterator. The second value is computed by applying the function to the seed together with the second element of the iterator. The third value is computed from the previous result together with the third element and so on. In other words, the previous result of each step is taken and passed together with the next element to the combinator function.

If the iterator is empty, null is returned.

More formally, given an iterator [a, b, c, d] and a function f, the result of reduce is f(f(f(a, b), c), d)

Parameters:

iterator - the to-be-reduced iterator. May not be null.

function - the combinator function. May not be null.

Returns:

the last result of the applied combinator function or null for the empty input.

fold

public static <T,R> R fold(java.util.Iterator<T> iterator,
           R seed,
           Functions.Function2<? super R,? super T,? extends R> function)

Applies the combinator function to all elements of the iterator in turn and uses seed as the start value.

One of the function parameters is an element of the iterator, and the other is the result of previous application of the function. The seed of the operation is explicitly passed to fold. The first computed value is the result of the applied function for seed and the first element of the iterator. This intermediate result together with the second element of the iterator produced the next result and so on.

fold is similar to reduce but allows a seed value and the combinator function may be asymmetric. It takes T and R and returns R.

If the iterator is empty, seed is returned.

More formally, given an iterator [a, b, c, d], a seed initial and a function f, the result of fold is f(f(f(f(initial, a), b), c), d)

Parameters:

iterator - the to-be-folded iterator. May not be null.

seed - the initial value. May be null.

function - the combinator function. May not be null.

Returns a set that contains all the unique entries of the given iterator in the order of their appearance. The result set is a copy of the iterator with stable order.

Parameters:

iterator - the iterator. May not be null.

Returns:

a set with the unique entries of the given iterator. Never null.

public static <K,V> java.util.Map<K,V> toInvertedMap(java.util.Iterator<? extends K> keys,
                                     Functions.Function1<? super K,V> computeValues)

Returns a map for which the Map.values() are computed by the given function, and each key is an element in the given keys. If the iterator contains equal keys more than once, the last one will be contained in the map. The map is computed eagerly. That is, subsequent changes in the keys are not reflected by the map. The key iterator is left exhausted.

Parameters:

keys - the keys to use when constructing the Map. May not be null.

computeValues - the function used to produce the values for each key. May not be null.

Returns:

a map mapping each entry in the given iterator to the corresponding result when evaluating the function computeValues.

public static <K,V> java.util.Map<K,V> toMap(java.util.Iterator<? extends V> values,
                             Functions.Function1<? super V,K> computeKeys)

Returns a map for which the Map.values() are the given elements in the given order, and each key is the product of invoking a supplied function computeKeys on its corresponding value.

Parameters:

values - the values to use when constructing the Map. May not be null.

computeKeys - the function used to produce the key for each value. May not be null.

Returns:

a map mapping the result of evaluating the function keyFunction on each value in the input iterator to that value

groupBy

public static <K,V> java.util.Map<K,java.util.List<V>> groupBy(java.util.Iterator<? extends V> values,
                                               Functions.Function1<? super V,? extends K> computeKeys)

Returns a map for which the Map.values() is a collection of lists, where the elements in the list will appear in the order as they appeared in the iterator. Each key is the product of invoking the supplied function computeKeys on its corresponding value. So a key of that map groups a list of values for which the function produced exactly that key. The value iterator is left exhausted.

Parameters:

values - the values to use when constructing the Map. May not be null.

computeKeys - the function used to produce the key for each value. May not be null.

Returns:

a map mapping the result of evaluating the function keyFunction on each value in the input iterator to that value. As there can be more than one value mapped by a key, the mapping result is is a list of values.

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if the iterator is empty

Since:

2.7

minBy

public static <T,C extends java.lang.Comparable<? super C>> T minBy(java.util.Iterator<T> iterator,
                                                    Functions.Function1<? super T,C> compareBy)

Finds the element that yields the minimum value when passed to compareBy. If there are several maxima, the first one will be returned.

Parameters:

iterator - the elements to find the minimum of. May not be null.

compareBy - a function that returns a comparable characteristic to compare the elements by. May not be null.

Returns:

the minimum

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if the iterator is empty

Since:

2.7

min

public static <T> T min(java.util.Iterator<T> iterator,
        java.util.Comparator<? super T> comparator)

Finds the mininmum element according to comparator. If there are several minima, the first one will be returned.

Parameters:

iterator - the elements to find the minimum of. May not be null.

comparator - the comparison function. May not be null.

Returns:

the minimum

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if the iterator is empty

Since:

2.7

max

public static <T extends java.lang.Comparable<? super T>> T max(java.util.Iterator<T> iterator)

Finds the maximum of the elements according to their natural ordering. If there are several maxima, the first one will be returned.

Parameters:

iterator - the mutually comparable elements. May not be null.

Returns:

the maximum

Throws:

java.util.NoSuchElementException - if the iterator is empty

Since:

2.7
