Re: Iterator Class/foreach Logic Flaw?

As a side note: There is no generally understood hasMore(). Though there is isDone() and hasMore() is sometimes used/implemented as !isDone(). The main problem is that the original Iterator description everyone refers to doesn't have isValid() but instead only has isDone() which doesn't fit into for(;;).
