iterUnshift
Create an iterator which prepends values to the beginning of a provided iterator.
Usage
var iterUnshift = require( '@stdlib/iter/unshift' );
iterUnshift( iterator, ...items )
Returns an iterator which prepends values to the beginning of a provided iterator
.
var array2iterator = require( '@stdlib/array/to-iterator' );
var it = iterUnshift( array2iterator( [ 1, 2 ] ), 3, 4 );
// returns <Object>
var v = it.next().value;
// returns 3
v = it.next().value;
// returns 4
v = it.next().value;
// returns 1
v = it.next().value;
// returns 2
var bool = it.next().done;
// returns true
The returned iterator protocol-compliant object has the following properties:
- next: function which returns an iterator protocol-compliant object containing the next iterated value (if one exists) assigned to a
value
property and adone
property having aboolean
value indicating whether the iterator is finished. - return: function which closes an iterator and returns a single (optional) argument in an iterator protocol-compliant object.
Notes
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/iter/randu' );
var iterUnshift = require( '@stdlib/iter/unshift' );
// Create a seeded iterator for generating pseudorandom numbers:
var rand = randu({
'seed': 1234,
'iter': 10
});
// Create an iterator with prepended values:
var it = iterUnshift( rand, 'beep', 'boop' );
// Perform manual iteration...
var v;
while ( true ) {
v = it.next();
if ( v.done ) {
break;
}
console.log( v.value );
}
