## Detailed Description

The Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::iterator class provides an STL-style non-const iterator for QCircularBuffer.

QCircularBuffer provides both STL-Style Iterators and Java-Style Iterators.

See also Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::begin(), Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::end(), and Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::const_iterator.

## Member Type Documentation

### typedef iterator::iterator_category

A synonym for std::random_access_iterator_tag indicating this iterator is a random access iterator.

## Member Function Documentation

### iterator::iterator()

Constructs an uninitialized iterator.

Functions like operator*() and operator++() should not be called on an uninitialized iterator. Use operator=() to assign a value to it before using it.

See also Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::begin() and Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::end().

### bool iterator::operator!=(const iterator & other) const

Returns true if other points to a different item than this iterator; otherwise returns false.

See also operator==().

### T & iterator::operator*() const

Returns a modifiable reference to the current item.

You can change the value of an item by using operator*() on the left side of an assignment.

See also operator->().

### iterator iterator::operator+(int j) const

Returns an iterator to the item at j positions forward from this iterator. (If j is negative, the iterator goes backward.)

See also operator-() and operator+=().

### iterator & iterator::operator++()

The prefix ++ operator (`++it`) advances the iterator to the next item in the circular buffer and returns an iterator to the new current item.

Calling this function on Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::end() leads to undefined results.

See also operator--().

### iterator iterator::operator++(int)

This is an overloaded function.

The postfix ++ operator (`it++`) advances the iterator to the next item in the circular buffer and returns an iterator to the previously current item.

### iterator & iterator::operator+=(int j)

Advances the iterator by j items. (If j is negative, the iterator goes backward.)

See also operator-=() and operator+().

### iterator iterator::operator-(int j) const

Returns an iterator to the item at j positions backward from this iterator. (If j is negative, the iterator goes forward.)

See also operator+() and operator-=().

### int iterator::operator-(iterator other) const

Returns the number of items between the item pointed to by other and the item pointed to by this iterator.

### iterator & iterator::operator--()

The prefix -- operator (`--it`) makes the preceding item the current item, and returns an iterator to the new current item.

Calling this function on Qt3D::QCircularBuffer::begin() leads to undefined results.

See also operator++().

### iterator iterator::operator--(int)

This is an overloaded function.

The postfix -- operator (`it--`) makes the preceding item the current item, and returns an iterator to the previously current item.

### iterator & iterator::operator-=(int j)

Makes the iterator go back by j items. (If j is negative, the iterator goes forward.)

See also operator+=() and operator-().

### T * iterator::operator->() const

Returns a pointer to the current item.

See also operator*().

### bool iterator::operator<(const iterator & other) const

Returns true if the item pointed to by this iterator occurs before the item pointed to by the other iterator.

### bool iterator::operator<=(const iterator & other) const

Returns true if the item pointed to by this iterator occurs before or at the same position as the item pointed to by the other iterator.

### bool iterator::operator==(const iterator & other) const

Returns true if other points to the same item as this iterator; otherwise returns false.

See also operator!=().

### bool iterator::operator>(const iterator & other) const

Returns true if the item pointed to by this iterator occurs after the item pointed to by the other iterator.

### bool iterator::operator>=(const iterator & other) const

Returns true if the item pointed to by this iterator occurs after or at the same position as the item pointed to by the other iterator.

### T & iterator::operator[](int j) const

Returns a modifiable reference to the item at position *this + j.

This function is provided to make QCircularBuffer iterators behave like C++ pointers.

See also operator+().
