RWTValMap<K,T,C> vm;
RWTValMapIterator<K,T,C> itr(vm);

RWTValMapIterator is supplied with Tools.h++ 7 to provide an iterator interface to RWTValMapIterator that is backward compatable with the container iterators provided in Tools.h++ 6.x.

The order of iteration over an RWTValMap is dependent on the comparator object supplied as applied to the key values of the stored associations.

The current item referenced by this iterator is undefined after construction or after a call to reset(). The iterator becomes valid after being advanced with either a preincrement or operator().

For both operator++ and operator(), iterating past the last element will return a value equivalent to boolean false. Continued increments will return a value equivalent to false until reset() is called.

#include<rw/tvmap.h>

#include<iostream.h>
#include<rw/cstring.h>

int main(){
   RWTValMap<RWCString,int,greater<RWCString> > age;
   RWTValMapIterator<RWCString,int,greater<RWCString> > itr(age);

   age.insert("John", 30);
   age.insert("Steve",17);
   age.insert("Mark",24);

//Insertion is rejected, no duplicates allowed
   age.insert("Steve",24);

   for(;itr();)
     cout << itr.key() << "\'s age is " << itr.value() << endl;

   return 0;
}

Program Output
Steve's age is 17
Mark's age is 24
John's age is 30

RWTValMapIterator<K,T,C>

(RWTValMap<K,T,C>&h); 

Creates an iterator for the map h. The iterator begins in an undefined state and must be advanced before the first association will be accessible.

RWBoolean
operator()();

Advances self to the next element. If the iterator has advanced past the last element in the collection, false will be returned. Otherwise, true will be returned.

RWBoolean
operator++();

Advances self to the next element. If the iterator has been reset or just created self will now reference the first element. If, before iteration, self pointed to the last association in the map, self will now reference an undefined value and false will be returned. Otherwise, true is returned. Note: no postincrement operator is provided.

RWTValMap<K,T,C>*
container() const;

Returns a pointer to the collection being iterated over.

K
key() const;

Returns the key portion of the association currently referenced by self.

void
reset();
void
reset(RWTValMap<K,T,C>& h);

Resets the iterator so that after being advanced it will reference the first element of the collection. Using reset() with no argument will reset the iterator on the current container. Supplying a RWTValMap with reset() will reset the iterator on that container.

T
value();

Returns the value portion of the association referenced by self.
