Iterators
• Iterating: to process a collection of
items, one at a time
• Typical iterator methods:
–hasNext() - returns true if there is at
least one more item to process
–next() returns the next item

Iterators
• Several classes in the Java standard class library
are iterators
• The Scanner class is an iterator
– the hasNext method returns true if there is more data
to be scanned
– the next method returns the next scanned token as a
string
• The Scanner class also has variations on the
hasNext method for specific data types (such as
hasNextInt)

Example – What if input is not an int?
System.out.print ("Enter the quantity: ");
quantity = scan.nextInt();
CSC 1051 M.A. Papalaskari, Villanova University
Example – What if input is not an int?
System.out.print ("Enter the quantity: ");
// wrong kind of input?
quantity = scan.nextInt();
CSC 1051 M.A. Papalaskari, Villanova University
Example – What if input is not an int?
System.out.print ("Enter the quantity: ");
while (!scan.hasNextInt()) // wrong kind of input?
{
// first scan the wrong input to get rid of it
String rong = scan.next();
System.out.print(”Try again. Enter the quantity:");
}
// now we know we have an integer, so scan it
quantity = scan.nextInt();
CSC 1051 M.A. Papalaskari, Villanova University
Example – What if input is negative?
do
{
System.out.print ("Enter the quantity: ");
while (!scan.hasNextInt()) // wrong kind of input?
{
// first scan the wrong input to get rid of it
String rong = scan.next();
System.out.print(”Try again. Enter the quantity:");
}
// now we know we have an integer, so scan it
quantity = scan.nextInt();
}
while (quantity <0); // try again if quantity is negative

Using Scanner to read from a file
• Create a “file object”
File myFile = new File("sample.inp");
• Create a Scanner to read from file object
Scanner fileScan = new Scanner (myFile);
• Use next() to obtain next token
• Use nextLine() to obtain entire line of text (until \n)
• Use hasNext() to test whether you are done

File Input Example: FileInput.java
public class FileInput
{
//---------------------------------------------------------------// Reads text from a file and prints it in uppercase.
//---------------------------------------------------------------public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException
{
String line;
File myFile = new File("sample.inp");
Scanner fileScan = new Scanner (myFile));
// Read and process each line of the file
while (fileScan.hasNext())
{
line = fileScan.nextLine();
System.out.println (line.toUpperCase());
}
}
}

File Input Example
public class FileInput
{
//---------------------------------------------------------------sample.inp
// Reads text from a file and prints it in uppercase.
//---------------------------------------------------------------Computers
are useless. They can only give you answers.

Pablo Picasso (1881
1973)(String[] args) throws IOException
{
String line;
File myFile = new File("sample.inp");
Scanner fileScan = new Scanner (myFile));
// Read and process each line of the file
while (fileScan.hasNext())
{
line = fileScan.nextLine();
System.out.println (line.toUpperCase());
}
}
}
Run Output
COMPUTERS ARE USELESS. THEY CAN ONLY GIVE YOU ANSWERS.

Iterators
• The fact that a Scanner is an iterator is particularly
helpful when reading input from a file
• Suppose we wanted to read and process a list of
URLs stored in a file
• One scanner can be set up to read each line of the
input until the end of the file is encountered
• Another scanner can be set up for each URL to
process each part of the path
• See URLDissector.java
