Using the iterator over the same set more than once in java

Question

Say I\'m iterating over a set in java, e.g.

Iterator<_someObject_> it = _someObject_.iterator();

well, first I want to go through eve

Answer 1

Sorry, but the contract of an Iterator states that you can only go through it once.

Given that you can't know for sure the order of the next Iterator, or even the content for that matter (it might change!), you're better off doing all the modifications or method calls in the same block.
