Interface CostList

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidList, OsidList

public interface CostList
extends OsidList

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

while (cl.hasNext()) {
     Cost cost = cl.getNextCost();
}            
  

or

while (cl.hasNext()) {
     Cost[] costs = cl.getNextCosts(cl.available());
}
