Example
Utilize a ListIterator to traverse a list in both forward and backward directions.
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.ListIterator;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args ) {
// Make a collection
LinkedList<String> cars = new LinkedList<String>();
cars .add("Volvo");
cars .add("BMW");
cars .add("Ford");
cars .add("Mazda");
// Get the iterator
ListIterator<String> it = cars .listIterator();
// Loop through the list
while(it .hasNext()) {
System.out .println(it .next());
}
System.out .println("---");
// Loop backwards through the list
while(it .hasPrevious()) {
System.out .println(it .previous());
}
}
}

Definition and Usage

The ListIterator distinguishes itself from an Iterator by its ability to traverse the list in
reverse as well.
