What are Java Iterator Design Patterns?

Can you explain what Java Iterator Design Patterns are?

Sure! The Iterator Design Pattern is a behavioral design pattern that allows sequential access to elements in a collection without exposing the underlying representation.

How does it differ from other design patterns?

It focuses specifically on providing a way to traverse a collection, while other patterns may address different concerns like object creation or structure.

Can you give me an example of how to implement it in Java?

Absolutely! You can create an Iterator interface and a concrete class that implements it, allowing you to iterate over a collection like an array or a list.

What are the benefits of using the Iterator pattern?

The main benefits include improved code readability, separation of concerns, and the ability to traverse different data structures uniformly.
