Interface CourseEntryPeerList

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.AutoCloseable, java.io.Closeable, OsidList

public interface CourseEntryPeerList
extends OsidList

Like all OsidLists, CourseEntryPeerList provides a means for accessing CourseEntryPeer elements sequentially either one at a time or many at a time. Examples:

       
       
       while (cpl.hasNext()) {
            CourseEntryPeer peer = cpl.getNextCourseEntryPeer();
       }
       
                   
       
  

or

       
       
       while (cpl.hasNext()) {
            CourseEntryPeer[] peers = cpl.getNextCourseEntryPeers(cpl.available());
       }
