Creating an iterator for my class

[thatos]

I designed a class called Row. This class has the following variable

	private String country,city;
	private String connections[];
	private boolean sea_link;
	private int cumul,section;

I would like to write an iterator method which goes like this

	public Iterator<Row> iterator(){
	      return iterator;
	}

But I do not know how to go about doing this.Can someone pls help me, I do not know where to start.

I have the following contructor in my class

  public Row(String country, String city,  int distPred, int distStart, String connections[]) {
	  
	  this.country = country;
	  this.city = city;
	  cumul = distStart;
	  section = distPred;
	  this.connections = connections;

The class Row records each row in a table

Do you want to iterate over the connections? If not you can't iterate over one single row.

The is another class Table which is a collection of Rows and it implements Iterable<Row>, it has to contain this method

public Iterator<Row> iterator() {

	    return rows.iterator();

	  }

If the "other class" is a real collection then you might already have your iterator.
Please elaborate.

The other class is not a "real" collection.

[JosAH]

The other class is not a "real" collection.

Well then you have to duly implement the Iterator interface for that class. Read
the API documentation for the interface. hasNext() and next() are the two
methods that you have to implement yourself for your home brew collection class.
An inner class would do fine.
