## Class ObjectArrayListIterator<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.ObjectArrayIterator<E>
  - - org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.ObjectArrayListIterator<E>

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterator<E>, ListIterator<E>, OrderedIterator<E>, ResettableIterator<E>, ResettableListIterator<E>

      public class ObjectArrayListIterator<E>
      extends ObjectArrayIterator<E>
      implements ResettableListIterator<E>

  Implements a `ListIterator` over an array of objects.

  This iterator does not support `add(E)` or `ObjectArrayIterator.remove()`, as the object array cannot be structurally modified. The `set(E)` method is supported however.

  The iterator implements a `reset()` method, allowing the reset of the iterator back to the start if required.

  Since:
    3.0

    Constructors
    Constructor and Description
    `ObjectArrayListIterator(E... array)` Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
    `ObjectArrayListIterator(E[] array, int start)` Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.

  - ### Method Summary

    All Methods Instance Methods Concrete Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `void` | `add(E obj)` This iterator does not support modification of its backing array's size, and so will always throw an `UnsupportedOperationException` when this method is invoked.
    `boolean` | `hasPrevious()` Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array.
    `E` | `next()` Gets the next element from the array.
    `int` | `nextIndex()` Gets the next index to be retrieved.
    `E` | `previous()` Gets the previous element from the array.
    `int` | `previousIndex()` Gets the index of the item to be retrieved if `previous()` is called.
    `void` | `reset()` Resets the iterator back to the start index.
    `void` | `set(E obj)` Sets the element under the cursor.

    - #### ObjectArrayListIterator

          public ObjectArrayListIterator(E... array)

      Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`

    - #### ObjectArrayListIterator

          public ObjectArrayListIterator(E[] array,
                                         int start)

      Constructs an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
        `start` - the index to start iterating at
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the start index is out of bounds

    - #### ObjectArrayListIterator

          public ObjectArrayListIterator(E[] array,
                                         int start,
                                         int end)

      Construct an ObjectArrayListIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
        `start` - the index to start iterating at
        `end` - the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at
      Throws:
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the start or end index is out of bounds
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if end index is before the start
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### hasPrevious

          public boolean hasPrevious()

      Returns true if there are previous elements to return from the array.
      Specified by:
        `hasPrevious` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Specified by:
        `hasPrevious` in interface `OrderedIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        true if there is a previous element to return

    - #### previous

          public E previous()

      Gets the previous element from the array.
      Specified by:
        `previous` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Specified by:
        `previous` in interface `OrderedIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the previous element
      Throws:
        `NoSuchElementException` - if there is no previous element

    - #### next

          public E next()

      Gets the next element from the array.
      Specified by:
        `next` in interface `Iterator<E>`
      Specified by:
        `next` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Overrides:
        `next` in class `ObjectArrayIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the next element
      Throws:
        `NoSuchElementException` - if there is no next element

    - #### nextIndex

          public int nextIndex()

      Gets the next index to be retrieved.
      Specified by:
        `nextIndex` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the index of the item to be retrieved next

    - #### previousIndex

          public int previousIndex()

      Gets the index of the item to be retrieved if `previous()` is called.
      Specified by:
        `previousIndex` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the index of the item to be retrieved next

    - #### add

          public void add(E obj)

      This iterator does not support modification of its backing array's size, and so will always throw an `UnsupportedOperationException` when this method is invoked.
      Specified by:
        `add` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object to add
      Throws:
        `UnsupportedOperationException` - always thrown.

    - #### set

          public void set(E obj)

      Sets the element under the cursor.

      This method sets the element that was returned by the last call to `next()` of `previous()`. Note: `ListIterator` implementations that support `add()` and `remove()` only allow `set()` to be called once per call to `next()` or `previous` (see the `ListIterator` javadoc for more details). Since this implementation does not support `add()` or `remove()`, `set()` may be called as often as desired.

      Specified by:
        `set` in interface `ListIterator<E>`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object to set into the array
      Throws:
        `IllegalStateException` - if next() has not yet been called.
        `ClassCastException` - if the object type is unsuitable for the array

    - #### reset

          public void reset()

      Resets the iterator back to the start index.
      Specified by:
        `reset` in interface `ResettableIterator<E>`
      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `ObjectArrayIterator<E>`
