kld-array-iterators v0.0.17

kld-array-iterators

This module is a collection of classes used to iterate over arrays. Iterators include:

• Array Iterator - a simple in-order walk of the provided args or array
• Reverse Iterator - a reverse walk of the provided args or array
• Random Iterator - a random walk of the provided args or array. All items are visited once and only once
• Combination Iterator - a walk of all of the subsets of the provided args or array
• Permutation Iterator - a walk of all permutations of the provided args or array
• Sequence Iterator - walk the list of iterators in the provided args or array. Each iterator is visited in order and run to exhaustion
• Group Iterator - iterator over a list of iterators, treating the entire group much like a counter. This is the cross-product of all iterators in the provided args or array

Installation

npm install kld-array-iterators

Examples

The following are some examples of each iterator in use. You can find the full source for these under the "examples" folder.

var Iterator = require('kld-array-iterators').ArrayIterator;

var iter = new Iterator(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10);

while (iter.hasNext()) {
    console.log(iter.next());
}
