<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QListIterator class provides a Java-style const iterator for <a href="qlist.html">QList</a> and <a href="qqueue.html">QQueue</a>.</p>
<p><a href="qlist.html">QList</a> has both <a href="containers.html#java-style-iterators">Java-style iterators</a> and <a href="containers.html#stl-style-iterators">STL-style iterators</a>. The Java-style iterators are more high-level and easier to use than the STL-style iterators; on the other hand, they are slightly less efficient.</p>
<p>An alternative to using iterators is to use index positions. Most <a href="qlist.html">QList</a> member functions take an index as their first parameter, making it possible to access, modify, and remove items without using iterators.</p>
<p>QListIterator<T> allows you to iterate over a <a href="qlist.html">QList</a><T> (or a <a href="qqueue.html">QQueue</a><T>). If you want to modify the list as you iterate over it, use <a href="qmutablelistiterator.html">QMutableListIterator</a><T> instead.</p>
<p>The QListIterator constructor takes a <a href="qlist.html">QList</a> as argument. After construction, the iterator is located at the very beginning of the list (before the first item). Here's how to iterate over all the elements sequentially:</p>
<pre> QList<float> list;
...
QListIterator<float> i(list);
while (i.hasNext())
qDebug() << i.next();</pre>
<p>The <a href="qlistiterator.html#next">next</a>() function returns the next item in the list and advances the iterator. Unlike STL-style iterators, Java-style iterators point <i>between</i> items rather than directly <i>at</i> items. The first call to <a href="qlistiterator.html#next">next</a>() advances the iterator to the position between the first and second item, and returns the first item; the second call to <a href="qlistiterator.html#next">next</a>() advances the iterator to the position between the second and third item, and returns the second item; and so on.</p>
<p align="center"><img src="images/javaiterators1.png" /></p><p>Here's how to iterate over the elements in reverse order:</p>
<pre> QListIterator<float> i(list);
i.toBack();
while (i.hasPrevious())
qDebug() << i.previous();</pre>
<p>If you want to find all occurrences of a particular value, use <a href="qlistiterator.html#findNext">findNext</a>() or <a href="qlistiterator.html#findPrevious">findPrevious</a>() in a loop.</p>
<p>Multiple iterators can be used on the same list. If the list is modified while a QListIterator is active, the QListIterator will continue iterating over the original list, ignoring the modified copy.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="QListIterator"></a>QListIterator::QListIterator ( const <a href="qlist.html">QList</a><T> & <i>list</i> )</h3>
<p>Constructs an iterator for traversing <i>list</i>. The iterator is set to be at the front of the list (before the first item).</p>
<p>See also <a href="qlistiterator.html#operator-eq">operator=</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QListIterator/findNext"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="findNext"></a>bool QListIterator::findNext ( const T & <i>value</i> )</h3>
<p>Searches for <i>value</i> starting from the current iterator position forward. Returns true if <i>value</i> is found; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>After the call, if <i>value</i> was found, the iterator is positioned just after the matching item; otherwise, the iterator is positioned at the back of the container.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qlistiterator.html#findPrevious">findPrevious</a>().</p>
<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QListIterator/findPrevious"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="findPrevious"></a>bool QListIterator::findPrevious ( const T & <i>value</i> )</h3>
<p>Searches for <i>value</i> starting from the current iterator position backward. Returns true if <i>value</i> is found; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>After the call, if <i>value</i> was found, the iterator is positioned just before the matching item; otherwise, the iterator is positioned at the front of the container.</p>

<a name="//apple_ref/cpp/instm/QListIterator/hasNext"></a>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="hasNext"></a>bool QListIterator::hasNext () const</h3>
<p>Returns true if there is at least one item ahead of the iterator, i.e. the iterator is <i>not</i> at the back of the container; otherwise returns false.</p>
