{wiki=Iterator}

An **iterator** is an object that enables a programmer to traverse a container, such as a list, array, or collection, without exposing the underlying representation. Iterators provide a standard way to access elements in a data structure sequentially, typically allowing the programmer to move through the elements one at a time. \#\#\# Key Features of Iterators: 1. **Abstraction**: They hide the complexity of the underlying data structure and provide a uniform interface for traversing different types of collections.
