Hi,
please look at the paragraph below.
What does iterate in the last sentence mean?

thanks,

Sura

Collections are objects used to group together and manipulate multiple data elements.
They can dynamically grow and shrink, which is their advantage over arrays. Collections
provide methods to add objects to a collection, remove objects from it, check if an object is
present in it, retrieve objects from it, and iterate through it.

I'm going to close this thread, because its VERY related to your other thread here.

In terms of java.util.Iterator, it means to to cycle through a Collection.

Or according to Websters:
"to say or do again or again and again"
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
