/** * Constructs a new <code>SingletonIterator</code> where <code>remove</code> * is a permitted operation. * * @param object the single object to return from the iterator */

Is another object available from the iterator?

This returns true if the single object hasn't been returned yet.

Returns:true if the single object hasn't been returned yet

Get the next object from the iterator.

This returns the single object if it hasn't been returned yet.

Throws:
Returns:the single object

Remove the object from this iterator.
Throws:
  • IllegalStateException – if the next method has not yet been called, or the remove method has already been called after the last call to the next method.
  • UnsupportedOperationException – if remove is not supported
/** * Remove the object from this iterator. * * @throws IllegalStateException if the {@code next} method has not * yet been called, or the {@code remove} method has already * been called after the last call to the {@code next} * method. * @throws UnsupportedOperationException if remove is not supported */

Reset the iterator to the start.
