position

public int position()
Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
Get the current position. This will be zero before the first call on next(), otherwise it will be the number of times that next() has been called.

Specified by:
position in interface SequenceIterator
Returns:
the current position, the position of the item returned by the most recent call of next()

getAnother

public SequenceIterator getAnother()
Description copied from interface: SequenceIterator
Get another SequenceIterator that iterates over the same items as the original, but which is repositioned at the start of the sequence.
