Questions

Administrative

Readings

Can you explain a bit more about iterators?

You’ll get more accustomed to iterators as we go. But, in essence, an iterator gives you access to the elements of a collection one value at a time.

We have a reading on iterators for the next class period.

Miscellaneous

I don’t understand what super() and when it should be used.

super() is generally a call to the constructor of the superclass. (`super.X is how you refer to most things in the superclass). You can only call the superclass constructor as the first line of your constructor; if you don’t Java automatically calls the zero-ary constructor of the parent.

Lab

The person closer to the board is Driver A. The person further from the board is Driver B.

Make sure that the name of the repo ends with -maven.
