why there is no add method in Iterator interface

Question

In Iterator Sun added the remove method to remove the last accessed element of the collection. Why there is no add method to add a new element to the collection? Wh

Because ListIterator maintains the insertion order and so you can get to a point where you want to add. Iterator doesn't care about order and so what if it adds the object in past values while iterating than that would be a disaster. That's the reason iterator is only given remove() method because you have a particular object and place from where to remove.
