In this Java tutorial we will see how to use the iterator interface with Collection. We will create an example to display the contents of the Collection.

• The Java Collection Iterator is present at the highest level interface in the Collection framework.
• Iterator interface has methods for traversing, but Collection doesn't has iterator() method.
• So create object with reference to other collection class.Those class should have iterator() method.

Example of Java Collection Iterator

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.Iterator;

public class collection2 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		Collection c = new ArrayList();
		c.add("rose");
		c.add("Lotus");
		c.add("Marigold");
		c.add("Jasmine");
		Iterator ir = c.iterator();

		while (ir.hasNext()) {
			System.out.println(ir.next());
		}
	}
}

Output

rose Lotus Marigold Jasmine
