Iterator

Iterator pattern has behavioral purpose and applies to objects. The pattern provides a way to access the elements of an aggregate object sequentially without exposing its underlying representation.

When to use

  • to access an aggregate object's contents without exposing its internal representation
  • to support multiple traversals of aggregate objects
  • to provide a uniform interface for traversing different aggregate structures (to support polymorphic iteration)
