<h2>Detailed Description</h2>

<p>The QMapIterator class provides a Java-style const iterator for <a href="qmap.html">QMap</a> and <a href="qmultimap.html">QMultiMap</a>.</p>

<p><a href="qmap.html">QMap</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>QMapIterator<Key, T> allows you to iterate over a <a href="qmap.html">QMap</a> (or a <a href="qmultimap.html">QMultiMap</a>). If you want to modify the map as you iterate over it, use <a href="qmutablemapiterator.html">QMutableMapIterator</a> instead.</p>

<p>The QMapIterator constructor takes a <a href="qmap.html">QMap</a> as argument. After construction, the iterator is located at the very beginning of the map (before the first item). Here's how to iterate over all the elements sequentially:</p>

<pre>  QMap<int, QWidget *> map;

...

QMapIterator<QString, QWidget *> i(map);

while (i.hasNext()) {

i.next();

cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value() << endl;

}</pre>

<p>The <a href="qmapiterator.html#next">next</a>() function returns the next item in the map and advances the iterator. The <a href="qmapiterator.html#key">key</a>() and <a href="qmapiterator.html#value">value</a>() functions return the key and value of the last item that was jumped over.</p>

<p>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="qmapiterator.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="qmapiterator.html#next">next</a>() advances the iterator to the position between the second and third item; and so on.</p>

<center><img src="images/javaiterators1.png" /></center><p>Here's how to iterate over the elements in reverse order:</p>

<pre>  QMapIterator<int, QWidget *> i(map);

i.toBack();

while (i.hasPrevious()) {

i.previous();

cout << i.key() << ": " << i.value() << endl;

}</pre>

<p>If you want to find all occurrences of a particular value, use <a href="qmapiterator.html#findNext">findNext</a>() or <a href="qmapiterator.html#findPrevious">findPrevious</a>() in a loop. For example:</p>

<pre>  QMapIterator<int, QWidget *> i(map);

while (i.findNext(widget)) {

cout << "Found widget " << widget << " under key "

<< i.key() << endl;

}</pre>

<p>Multiple iterators can be used on the same map. If the map is modified while a QMapIterator is active, the QMapIterator will continue iterating over the original map, ignoring the modified copy.</p>

<h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="QMapIterator"></a>QMapIterator::QMapIterator ( const <a href="qmap.html">QMap</a><Key, T> & <i>map</i> )</h3>

<p>Constructs an iterator for traversing <i>map</i>. The iterator is set to be at the front of the map (before the first item).</p>

<p>See also <a href="qmapiterator.html#operator-eq">operator=</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="findNext"></a>bool QMapIterator::findNext ( const T & <i>value</i> )</h3>

<p>Searches for <i>value</i> starting from the current iterator position forward. Returns true if a (key, value) pair with value <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>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="findPrevious"></a>bool QMapIterator::findPrevious ( const T & <i>value</i> )</h3>

<p>Searches for <i>value</i> starting from the current iterator position backward. Returns true if a (key, value) pair with value <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>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="hasNext"></a>bool QMapIterator::hasNext () const</h3>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="hasPrevious"></a>bool QMapIterator::hasPrevious () const</h3>

<p>Returns true if there is at least one item behind the iterator, i.e. the iterator is <i>not</i> at the front of the container; otherwise returns false.</p>

<p>See also <a href="qmapiterator.html#hasNext">hasNext</a>() and <a href="qmapiterator.html#previous">previous</a>().</p>
