Modifier and Type	Method and Description
static <E,C extends Collection<E>> C	addAll(Iterator<? extends E> iter, C collection) Adds all elements from the supplied iterator to the specified collection.
static <E> List<E>	asList(Iterator<? extends E> iter) Get a List containing all elements obtained from the specified iterator.

Method Detail

asList

public static <E> List<E> asList(Iterator<? extends E> iter)

Get a List containing all elements obtained from the specified iterator.

Parameters:

iter - the iterator to get the elements from

Returns:

a List containing all elements obtained from the specified iterator.

addAll

public static <E,C extends Collection<E>> C addAll(Iterator<? extends E> iter,
                                   C collection)

Adds all elements from the supplied iterator to the specified collection.

Parameters:

iter - An iterator containing elements to add to the container.

collection - The collection to add the elements to.

Returns:

The collection object that was supplied to this method.

toString

public static String toString(Iterator<?> iter,
              String separator)

Converts an iterator to a string by concatenating all of the string representations of objects in the iterator, divided by a separator.

Parameters:

iter - An iterator over arbitrary objects that are expected to implement Object.toString().

separator - The separator to insert between the object strings.

Returns:

A String representation of the objects provided by the supplied iterator.

toString

public static void toString(Iterator<?> iter,
            String separator,
            StringBuilder sb)

Converts an iterator to a string by concatenating all of the string representations of objects in the iterator, divided by a separator.

Parameters:

iter - An iterator over arbitrary objects that are expected to implement Object.toString().

separator - The separator to insert between the object strings.

sb - A StringBuilder to append the iterator string to.
