Direct Known Subclasses:
AbstractCharListIterator

public abstract class AbstractCharBidirectionalIterator
extends AbstractCharIterator
implements CharBidirectionalIterator

An abstract class facilitating the creation of type-specific bidirectional iterators.

To create a type-specific bidirectional iterator, besides what is needed for an iterator you need both a method returning the previous element as primitive type and a method returning the previous element as an object. However, if you inherit from this class you need just one (anyone).

Iterator

Method Summary
 int back(int n)
          This method just iterates previous() for at most n times, stopping if BidirectionalIterator.hasPrevious() becomes false.
 Object previous()
          This method just invokes the type-specific version.
 char previousChar()
          This method just invokes the generic version.

back

public int back(int n)
This method just iterates previous() for at most n times, stopping if BidirectionalIterator.hasPrevious() becomes false.

Specified by:
back in interface CharBidirectionalIterator
Parameters:
n - the number of elements to skip back.

the number of elements actually skipped.
