# Trait std::iter::ExactSizeIterator 1.0.0[−][src]

    pub trait ExactSizeIterator: Iterator {
        pub fn len(&self) -> usize { ... }
        pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool { ... }
    }

An iterator that knows its exact length.

Many `Iterator`s don't know how many times they will iterate, but some do. If an iterator knows how many times it can iterate, providing access to that information can be useful. For example, if you want to iterate backwards, a good start is to know where the end is.

When implementing an `ExactSizeIterator`, you must also implement `Iterator`. When doing so, the implementation of `Iterator::size_hint` must return the exact size of the iterator.

The `len` method has a default implementation, so you usually shouldn't implement it. However, you may be able to provide a more performant implementation than the default, so overriding it in this case makes sense.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    // a finite range knows exactly how many times it will iterate
    let five = 0..5;

    assert_eq!(5, five.len());

Run

In the module-level docs, we implemented an `Iterator`, `Counter`. Let's implement `ExactSizeIterator` for it as well:

    impl ExactSizeIterator for Counter {
        // We can easily calculate the remaining number of iterations.
        fn len(&self) -> usize {
            5 - self.count
        }
    }

    // And now we can use it!

    let counter = Counter::new();

    assert_eq!(5, counter.len());

Run

## Provided methods

### `pub fn len(&self) -> usize`[src]

Returns the exact length of the iterator.

The implementation ensures that the iterator will return exactly `len()` more times a `Some(T)` value, before returning `None`. This method has a default implementation, so you usually should not implement it directly. However, if you can provide a more efficient implementation, you can do so. See the trait-level docs for an example.

This function has the same safety guarantees as the `Iterator::size_hint` function.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    // a finite range knows exactly how many times it will iterate
    let five = 0..5;

    assert_eq!(5, five.len());

Run

### `pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool`[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`exact_size_is_empty` #35428)

Returns `true` if the iterator is empty.

This method has a default implementation using `ExactSizeIterator::len()`, so you don't need to implement it yourself.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    #![feature(exact_size_is_empty)]

    let mut one_element = std::iter::once(0);
    assert!(!one_element.is_empty());

    assert_eq!(one_element.next(), Some(0));
    assert!(one_element.is_empty());

    assert_eq!(one_element.next(), None);
