## Class ObjectArrayIterator<E>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.commons.collections4.iterators.ObjectArrayIterator<E>

- Type Parameters:
    `E` - the type of elements returned by this iterator
  All Implemented Interfaces:
    Iterator<E>, ResettableIterator<E>
  Direct Known Subclasses:
    ObjectArrayListIterator

      public class ObjectArrayIterator<E>
      extends Object
      implements ResettableIterator<E>

  An `Iterator` over an array of objects.

  This iterator does not support `remove()`, as the object array cannot be structurally modified.

  The iterator implements a `reset()` method, allowing the reset of the iterator back to the start if required.

  Since:
    3.0

    - #### ObjectArrayIterator

          public ObjectArrayIterator(E... array)

      Constructs an ObjectArrayIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`

    - #### ObjectArrayIterator

          public ObjectArrayIterator(E[] array,
                                     int start)

      Constructs an ObjectArrayIterator that will iterate over the values in the specified array from a specific start index.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
        `start` - the index to start iterating at
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the start index is out of bounds

    - #### ObjectArrayIterator

          public ObjectArrayIterator(E[] array,
                                     int start,
                                     int end)

      Construct an ObjectArrayIterator that will iterate over a range of values in the specified array.
      Parameters:
        `array` - the array to iterate over
        `start` - the index to start iterating at
        `end` - the index (exclusive) to finish iterating at
      Throws:
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - if the start or end index is out of bounds
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if end index is before the start
        `NullPointerException` - if `array` is `null`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### hasNext

          public boolean hasNext()

      Returns true if there are more elements to return from the array.
      Specified by:
        `hasNext` in interface `Iterator<E>`
      Returns:
        true if there is a next element to return

    - #### next

          public E next()

      Returns the next element in the array.
      Specified by:
        `next` in interface `Iterator<E>`
      Returns:
        the next element in the array
      Throws:
        `NoSuchElementException` - if all the elements in the array have already been returned

    - #### remove

          public void remove()

      Throws `UnsupportedOperationException`.
      Specified by:
        `remove` in interface `Iterator<E>`
      Throws:
        `UnsupportedOperationException` - always

    - #### getArray

          public E[] getArray()

      Gets the array that this iterator is iterating over.
      Returns:
        the array this iterator iterates over

    - #### getStartIndex

          public int getStartIndex()

      Gets the start index to loop from.
      Returns:
        the start index

    - #### getEndIndex

          public int getEndIndex()

      Gets the end index to loop to.
      Returns:
        the end index

    - #### reset

          public void reset()

      Resets the iterator back to the start index.
      Specified by:
        `reset` in interface `ResettableIterator<E>`
