public final class ReverseIterator
extends Object
implements BidirectionalIterator, Serializable
A ReverseIterator is a bidirectional iterator that allows you to iterate backwards through the contents of a data structure that supports bidirectional iteration.

o ReverseIterator(BidirectionalIterator)
Construct myself to operate using a bidirectional iterator.
o ReverseIterator(ReverseIterator)
Construct myself to be a copy of an existing iterator.

Method Index

o advance()
Advance by one.
o advance(int)
Advance by a specified amount.
o atBegin()
Return true if I'm positioned at the first item of my input stream.
o atEnd()
Return true if I'm positioned after the last item in my input stream.
o clone()
Return a clone of myself.
o distance(ForwardIterator)
Return the distance from myself to another iterator.
o equals(Object)
Return true if a specified object is the same kind of iterator as me and is positioned at the same element.
o equals(ReverseIterator)
Return true if iterator is positioned at the same element as me.
o get()

o get(int)
Return the object that is a specified distance from my current position.
o getContainer()
Return my associated container via my BidirectionalIterator.
o hasMoreElements()
Return true if there are more elements in my input stream.
o isCompatibleWith(InputIterator)
Return true if both iterator and myself can be used as a range.
o nextElement()
Return the next element in my input stream.

Retreat by one.
o retreat(int)
Retreat by a specified amount.
