public interface DBIDIter
extends DBIDRef, Iter

Iterator for DBIDs. Important note: this iterator has a significantly different syntax and semantics than the Java iterators. It is much more aligned with C than with Java, but at the same time, the syntax is much more compatible with for loops. Usage example:

  
 for (DBIDIter iter = ids.iter(); iter.valid(); iter.advance()) {
   Object o = relation.get(iter); // Many interfaces allow direct use
   DBID id = DBIDUtil.deref(iter); // Materialize only if you need to!
 }
 
 

We list some fundamental differences.

• iter.valid() refers to the current element, Iterator.next() to the next.
• iter.advance() does not return an element. Use get... to access it.
• DBIDIter.get... do not advance the iterator.
