[LeetCode 284] Peeking Iterator

Given an Iterator class interface with methods: next() and hasNext(), design and implement a PeekingIterator that support the peek() operation — it essentially peek() at the element that will be returned by the next call to next().

Here is an example. Assume that the iterator is initialized to the beginning of the list:[1, 2, 3].

Call next() gets you 1, the first element in the list.

Now you call peek() and it returns 2, the next element. Calling next() after that still return 2.

You call next() the final time and it returns 3, the last element. CallinghasNext() after that should return false.

Hint:

Think of "looking ahead". You want to cache the next element.Is one variable sufficient? Why or why not?Test your design with call order ofpeek() before next() vs next() before peek().For a clean implementation, check outGoogle’s guava library source code.

Follow up: How would you extend your design to be generic and work with all types, not just integer?

solution:

Use one variable to be cached peek element, every time call next(), peek() need to update its value.

// Java Iterator interface reference:// https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Iterator.htmlclass PeekingIterator implements Iterator<Integer> {Integer peek = null;private Iterator<Integer> iterator;public PeekingIterator(Iterator<Integer> iterator) {// initialize any member here.this.iterator = iterator;}// Returns the next element in the iteration without advancing the iterator.public Integer peek() {if(peek !=null) return peek;else {peek = iterator.next();}return peek;}// hasNext() and next() should behave the same as in the Iterator interface.// Override them if needed.@Overridepublic Integer next() {if(peek != null) {int temp = peek;peek = null;return temp;}return iterator.next();}@Overridepublic boolean hasNext() {if(peek != null) return true;else return iterator.hasNext();}}
