1.列表有长度,以及下标,可以使用for循环简单的实现遍历; 2.集合:无序的,没有下标所以需要使用新的遍历方式; 3.迭代器背景:

不同的集合可以有不同迭代器的实现方式,Iterator迭代器只是一个接口,提供了一种能力; (原先主要说明了接口中不能有方法的实现,但是在jdk1.8之后此处的源码中可以发现可以有默认方法,需要在前面加上一个default关键字表示接口的默认方法);

例如此处的方法,如果不重写那么就表示不支持的remove方法,抛出一个异常;


迭代器的基本思想:
由于不知道集合中的数据有多少个,所以我们可以判断集合中是否还有没有元素完成特定的操作。(比如,将篮子中的食物一次分一样给一个人);就需要使用next()方法,remove()方法;以及havenext()方法;
