Struct core::iter::Peekable

#[must_use = "iterators are lazy and do nothing unless consumed"]
pub struct Peekable<I: Iterator> { /* fields omitted */ }

An iterator with a peek() that returns an optional reference to the next element.

This struct is created by the peekable method on Iterator. See its documentation for more.

Methods

impl<I: Iterator> Peekable<I>

pub fn peek(&mut self) -> Option<&I::Item>

Returns a reference to the next() value without advancing the iterator.

Like next, if there is a value, it is wrapped in a Some(T). But if the iteration is over, None is returned.

Because peek() returns a reference, and many iterators iterate over references, there can be a possibly confusing situation where the return value is a double reference. You can see this effect in the examples below.

Examples

Basic usage:

let xs = [1, 2, 3];

let mut iter = xs.iter().peekable();

// peek() lets us see into the future
assert_eq!(iter.peek(), Some(&&1));
assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&1));

assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&2));

// The iterator does not advance even if we `peek` multiple times
assert_eq!(iter.peek(), Some(&&3));
assert_eq!(iter.peek(), Some(&&3));

assert_eq!(iter.next(), Some(&3));

// After the iterator is finished, so is `peek()`
assert_eq!(iter.peek(), None);
assert_eq!(iter.next(), None);
