Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default IntIterator`	`asIntIterator(int[] buffer)`	Creates a wrapper around the iterator so it behaves like an IntIterator
`BatchIterator`	`clone()`	Creates a copy of the iterator.
`boolean`	`hasNext()`	Returns true is there are more values to get.
`int`	`nextBatch(int[] buffer)`	Writes the next batch of integers onto the buffer, and returns how many were written.

- Method Detail
  - nextBatch
```
int nextBatch(int[] buffer)
```
    Writes the next batch of integers onto the buffer, and returns how many were written. Aims to fill the buffer.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - - the target to write onto
    
    Returns:
    
    how many values were written during the call.
  - hasNext
```
boolean hasNext()
```
    Returns true is there are more values to get.
    
    Returns:
    
    whether the iterator is exhaused or not.
  - clone
```
BatchIterator clone()
```
    Creates a copy of the iterator.
    
    Returns:
    
    a clone of the current iterator
  - asIntIterator
```
default IntIterator asIntIterator(int[] buffer)
```
    Creates a wrapper around the iterator so it behaves like an IntIterator
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - - array to buffer bits into (size 128-256 should be best).
    
    Returns:
    
    the wrapper
