Is it possible to merge iterators in Java?

Question

Is it possible to merge iterators in Java? I have two iterators and I want to combine/merge them so that I could iterate though their elements in one go (in same loop) rathe

Answer 1

public class IteratorJoin implements Iterator {
    private final Iterator first, next;

    public IteratorJoin(Iterator first, Iterator next) {
        this.first = first;
        this.next = next;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean hasNext() {
        return first.hasNext() || next.hasNext();
    }

    @Override
    public T next() {
        if (first.hasNext())
            return first.next();
        return next.next();
    }
}
