ReusableIterator (AutomataLib 0.11.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- net.automatalib.common.util.collection.ReusableIterator<T>

Type Parameters:

T - type of elements to iterate.

All Implemented Interfaces:

Iterable<T>
```
public class ReusableIterator<T>
extends Object
implements Iterable<T>
```
A utility class that allows to reuse an Iterator.
Iterators returned by this class' iterator() method copy the elements of the given source iterator to a list as they are requested. Subsequent iterators then traverse the cached list (and continue to copy elements, if they haven't been requested before) allowing to arbitrarily re-iterate over the elements of the initial iterator.
