| An **iterator** is an object that allows code to step through collections. Java has `Iterator` and `ListIterator` objects, both imported through the `java.util` package. The main difference between the two is that `ListIterator` allows for the bidirectional traversal of collections. The `ListIterator` can only be retrieved from collections that implement the `List` interface. | ||
| Java **iterator** is an interface that provides a standardized way to traverse elements in a collection sequentially, one element at a time. It acts as a cursor that points to elements within collections such as [`ArrayList`](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/java/array-list), `LinkedList`, [`HashSet`](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/java/hashset), and other classes that implement the [`Collection`](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/java/collection) interface. The iterator interface is part of the Java Collections Framework and is found in the `java.util` package. |

We are not defining what a cursor is.
We should define that.
