Package iter provides basic definitions and operations related to

iterators over sequences.

# Iterators

An iterator is a function that passes successive elements of a

sequence to a callback function, conventionally named yield.

The function stops either when the sequence is finished or

when yield returns false, indicating to stop the iteration early.

This package defines [Seq] and [Seq2]

(pronounced like seek—the first syllable of sequence)

as shorthands for iterators that pass 1 or 2 values per sequence element

to yield:

type (

Seq[V any] func(yield func(V) bool)

Seq2[K, V any] func(yield func(K, V) bool)

)

Seq2 represents a sequence of paired values, conventionally key-value

or index-value pairs.

Yield returns true if the iterator should continue with the next

element in the sequence, false if it should stop.

For instance, [maps.Keys] returns an iterator that produces the sequence

of keys of the map m, implemented as follows:

func Keys[Map ~map[K]V, K comparable, V any](m Map) iter.Seq[K] {

return func(yield func(K) bool) {

for k := range m {

if !yield(k) {

return

}

}

}

}

Further examples can be found in [The Go Blog: Range Over Function Types].

Iterator functions are most often called by a [range loop], as in:

func PrintAll[V any](seq iter.Seq[V]) {

for v := range seq {

fmt.Println(v)

}

}

# Naming Conventions

Iterator functions and methods are named for the sequence being walked:

// All returns an iterator over all elements in s.

func (s *Set[V]) All() iter.Seq[V]

The iterator method on a collection type is conventionally named All,

because it iterates a sequence of all the values in the collection.

For a type containing multiple possible sequences, the iterator's name

can indicate which sequence is being provided:

// Cities returns an iterator over the major cities in the country.

func (c *Country) Cities() iter.Seq[*City]

// Languages returns an iterator over the official spoken languages of the country.

func (c *Country) Languages() iter.Seq[string]

If an iterator requires additional configuration, the constructor function

can take additional configuration arguments:

// Scan returns an iterator over key-value pairs with min ≤ key ≤ max.

func (m *Map[K, V]) Scan(min, max K) iter.Seq2[K, V]

// Split returns an iterator over the (possibly-empty) substrings of s

// separated by sep.

func Split(s, sep string) iter.Seq[string]

When there are multiple possible iteration orders, the method name may

indicate that order:

// All returns an iterator over the list from head to tail.

func (l *List[V]) All() iter.Seq[V]

// Backward returns an iterator over the list from tail to head.

func (l *List[V]) Backward() iter.Seq[V]

// Preorder returns an iterator over all nodes of the syntax tree

// beneath (and including) the specified root, in depth-first preorder,

// visiting a parent node before its children.

func Preorder(root Node) iter.Seq[Node]

# Single-Use Iterators

Most iterators provide the ability to walk an entire sequence:

when called, the iterator does any setup necessary to start the

sequence, then calls yield on successive elements of the sequence,

and then cleans up before returning. Calling the iterator again

walks the sequence again.

Some iterators break that convention, providing the ability to walk a

sequence only once. These “single-use iterators” typically report values

from a data stream that cannot be rewound to start over.

Calling the iterator again after stopping early may continue the

stream, but calling it again after the sequence is finished will yield

no values at all. Doc comments for functions or methods that return

single-use iterators should document this fact:

// Lines returns an iterator over lines read from r.

// It returns a single-use iterator.

func (r *Reader) Lines() iter.Seq[string]

# Pulling Values

Functions and methods that accept or return iterators

should use the standard [Seq] or [Seq2] types, to ensure

compatibility with range loops and other iterator adapters.

The standard iterators can be thought of as “push iterators”, which

push values to the yield function.

Sometimes a range loop is not the most natural way to consume values

of the sequence. In this case, [Pull] converts a standard push iterator

to a “pull iterator”, which can be called to pull one value at a time

from the sequence. [Pull] starts an iterator and returns a pair

of functions—next and stop—which return the next value from the iterator

and stop it, respectively.

For example:

// Pairs returns an iterator over successive pairs of values from seq.

func Pairs[V any](seq iter.Seq[V]) iter.Seq2[V, V] {

return func(yield func(V, V) bool) {

next, stop := iter.Pull(seq)

defer stop()

for {

v1, ok1 := next()

if !ok1 {

return

}

v2, ok2 := next()

// If ok2 is false, v2 should be the

// zero value; yield one last pair.

if !yield(v1, v2) {

return

}

if !ok2 {

return

}

}

}

}

If clients do not consume the sequence to completion, they must call stop,

which allows the iterator function to finish and return. As shown in

the example, the conventional way to ensure this is to use defer.

# Standard Library Usage

A few packages in the standard library provide iterator-based APIs,

most notably the [maps] and [slices] packages.

For example, [maps.Keys] returns an iterator over the keys of a map,

while [slices.Sorted] collects the values of an iterator into a slice,

sorts them, and returns the slice, so to iterate over the sorted keys of a map:

for _, key := range slices.Sorted(maps.Keys(m)) {

...

}

# Mutation

Iterators provide only the values of the sequence, not any direct way

to modify it. If an iterator wishes to provide a mechanism for modifying

a sequence during iteration, the usual approach is to define a position type

with the extra operations and then provide an iterator over positions.

For example, a tree implementation might provide:

// Positions returns an iterator over positions in the sequence.

func (t *Tree[V]) Positions() iter.Seq[*Pos]

// A Pos represents a position in the sequence.

// It is only valid during the yield call it is passed to.

type Pos[V any] struct { ... }

// Pos returns the value at the cursor.

func (p *Pos[V]) Value() V

// Delete deletes the value at this point in the iteration.

func (p *Pos[V]) Delete()

// Set changes the value v at the cursor.

func (p *Pos[V]) Set(v V)

And then a client could delete boring values from the tree using:

for p := range t.Positions() {

if boring(p.Value()) {

p.Delete()

}

}
