What is an Iterator class?



What is an Iterator class?..

Answer / ritesh pal

A class that is used to traverse through the objects maintained by a container class. There are five categories of iterators:

 input iterators,
 output iterators,
 forward iterators,
 bidirectional iterators,
 random access.

An iterator is an entity that gives access to the contents of a container object without violating encapsulation constraints. Access to the contents is granted on a one-at-a-time basis in order. The order can be storage order (as in lists and queues) or some arbitrary order (as in array indices) or according to some ordering relation (as in an ordered binary tree). The iterator is a construct, which provides an interface that, when called, yields either the next element in the container, or some value denoting the fact that there are no more elements to examine. Iterators hide the details of access to and update of the elements of a container class.

The simplest and safest iterators are those that permit read-only access to the contents of a container class. The following code fragment shows how an iterator might appear in code:

cont_iter:=new cont_iterator();
x:=cont_iter.next();
while x/=none do
...
s(x);
...
x:=cont_iter.next();
end;
In this example, cont_iter is the name of the iterator. It is created on the first line by instantiation of cont_iterator class, an iterator class defined to iterate over some container class, cont. Succesive elements from the container are carried to x. The loop terminates when x is bound to some empty value. (Here, none)In the middle of the loop, there is s(x) an operation on x, the current element from the container. The next element of the container is obtained at the bottom of the loop.

Write a program which is required to process the time of a clock in hours and minutes, entered from the keyboard. With this program, there are two requirements for any data entered by a user: 1. The data must be of the correct type (in this case, two ints). 2. The data must be in the correct range: this means that, for the minutes, negative numbers and any number above 59 must be rejected; for the hours, negative numbers and any number above 23 must be rejected. Output error message for invalid data input. Output the time one and a half hour after the time input. i.e. Hour: 22 Min: 32 One and a half hour after 22:32 is 00:02

class Foo { public: Foo(int i) { } }; class Bar : virtual Foo { public: Bar() { } }; Bar b; Referring to the above code, when the object 'b' is defined, a compiler error will occur. What action fixes the compiler error? a) Adding a virtual destructor to the class Bar b) Adding a constructor to Bar which takes an int parameter c) Adding "Foo()" to the Bar constructor d) Adding a copy constructor to the class Foo e) Adding "Foo(0)" to the Bar::Bar initializer list
