Corpus analysis for Iterator

  • In this selection, "iterator" usually appears near the end of the sentence. The average example has 19.6 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
  • Around the word, abstract, forward, backwards, interface and names stand out and add context to how "iterator" is used.
  • Recognizable usage signals include a backwards iterator and a forward iterator was used. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
  • By corpus frequency, "iterator" sits close to words such as aadi, aayush and abbottabad, which helps place it inside the broader word index.

Example types with iterator

The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:

Short example sentences

These methods are put into an abstract Iterator interface. (9 words)

Functions for traversal and retrieval are put into the abstract Iterator interface. (12 words)

Iterator names always end with an exclamation mark (this convention is enforced by the compiler). (15 words)

Longer example sentences

Additionally, the time complexity of insertion or deletion in the middle, given an iterator, is O(1); however, the time complexity of random access by index is O(n). (29 words)

Python Python 's standard library (since 2.6) also has a merge function in the heapq module, that takes multiple sorted iterables, and merges them into a single iterator. (29 words)

For example, Find can be used as "find next" or "find previous", depending on if a "forward" iterator was used, or a "backwards" iterator. (24 words)

Example sentences (11)

For example, Find can be used as "find next" or "find previous", depending on if a "forward" iterator was used, or a "backwards" iterator.

Since the previous value returned from the very first iterator was 4, it’s positioned to return 5 next.

Additionally, the time complexity of insertion or deletion in the middle, given an iterator, is O(1); however, the time complexity of random access by index is O(n).

Each Iterator is given a reference to a specific algorithm (such as spell check, grammar check, etc.).

Functions for traversal and retrieval are put into the abstract Iterator interface.

Iterator names always end with an exclamation mark (this convention is enforced by the compiler).

Objects that are shared but not owned can be accessed via a reference, raw pointer, or iterator (a conceptual generalisation of pointers).

Python Python 's standard library (since 2.6) also has a merge function in the heapq module, that takes multiple sorted iterables, and merges them into a single iterator.

These methods are put into an abstract Iterator interface.

Thus, no matter what type of indexing method any implementation of the element uses, it will have the appropriate Iterator.

Thus, to perform a spell check, a front-to-end iterator would be given a reference to a SpellCheck object.
