public interface Iterable<T>
Implementing this interface allows an object to be the target of the enhanced
for
statement (sometimes called the "for-each loop" statement).- See Java Language Specification:
-
14.14.2 The enhanced
for
statement - Since:
- 1.5

Method Summary
Modifier and TypeMethodDescriptiondefault void
Performs the given action for each element of theIterable
until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception.iterator()
Returns an iterator over elements of typeT
.default Spliterator<T>
Creates aSpliterator
over the elements described by thisIterable
.

Method Details
-
iterator
Returns an iterator over elements of typeT
.- Returns:
- an Iterator.
-
forEach
Performs the given action for each element of theIterable
until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception. Actions are performed in the order of iteration, if that order is specified. Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.The behavior of this method is unspecified if the action performs side-effects that modify the underlying source of elements, unless an overriding class has specified a concurrent modification policy.
- Implementation Requirements:
The default implementation behaves as if:
for (T t : this) action.accept(t);
- Parameters:
action
- The action to be performed for each element- Throws:
NullPointerException
- if the specified action is null- Since:
- 1.8
-
spliterator
Creates aSpliterator
over the elements described by thisIterable
.- Implementation Requirements:
- The default implementation creates an
early-binding
spliterator from the iterable's
Iterator
. The spliterator inherits the fail-fast properties of the iterable's iterator. - Implementation Note:
- The default implementation should usually be overridden. The spliterator returned by the default implementation has poor splitting capabilities, is unsized, and does not report any spliterator characteristics. Implementing classes can nearly always provide a better implementation.
- Returns:
- a
Spliterator
over the elements described by thisIterable
. - Since:
- 1.8
