Itertools-object-oriented

Java Advanced Iterators & Student Statistics Tool

📚 Overview

This project showcases the implementation of advanced iterators in Java using object-oriented programming (OOP) and lazy evaluation principles. These iterators are then applied in a real-world application: a Student Statistics Tool, which processes and analyzes student data in a modular and extensible way.

🧩 Project Components

1. Advanced Iterators Library (itertools/)

Implements functional-style iterators using Java’s Iterator<T> interface and OOP principles.

• MapIterator<T, R>: Applies a transformation function.
• FilterIterator<T>: Filters elements based on a predicate.
• TakeIterator<T>: Limits output to the first N elements.
• ZipIterator<A, B, R>: Zips two iterators together.
• ReduceOperation<T>: Reduces elements using a binary operation.

2. Student Data Model (studentapi/)

Defines the core data classes:

• Student: Represents a student with fields like name, ID, and GPA.
• StudentDataset: Contains and loads student collections.

3. Student Statistics Engine (studentstats/)

• StudentStatistics: Provides operations like filtering students by performance, computing averages, and aggregating statistics using the custom iterators.

4. Test & Demo Program (test/)

• Test.java: Entry point of the application, demonstrates usage of all custom iterators and the student statistics tool.
• Stats.java: Additional examples/tests for iterators in use.
• May also contain subfolders like itertools/ or studentstats/ for test-specific versions.
