operator fun < T > Iterator < T > . iterator ( ) : Iterator < T >
(source)

Returns the given iterator itself. This allows to use an instance of iterator in a for loop.

import java.util.*

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
//sampleStart
val mutableList = mutableListOf(1, 2, 3)
val mutableIterator = mutableList.iterator()

// iterator() extension is called here
for (e in mutableIterator) {
    if (e % 2 == 0) {
        // we can remove items from the iterator without getting ConcurrentModificationException
        // because it's the same iterator that is iterated with for loop
        mutableIterator.remove()
    }

    println("The element is $e")
}
//sampleEnd
