Peeking iterator

designProblem URL: Peeking iterator
We will use a current value property in the class to keep track of current value of the iterator. For rest of the functionality we will just relay the behaviour of the original iterator.
# Below is the interface for Iterator, which is already defined for you.
#
# class Iterator:
# def __init__(self, nums):
# """
# Initializes an iterator object to the beginning of a list.
# :type nums: List[int]
# """
#
# def hasNext(self):
# """
# Returns true if the iteration has more elements.
# :rtype: bool
# """
#
# def next(self):
# """
# Returns the next element in the iteration.
# :rtype: int
# """
class PeekingIterator:
def __init__(self, iterator):
"""
Initialize your data structure here.
:type iterator: Iterator
"""
self.iterator = iterator
self.current = self.iterator.next()
def peek(self):
"""
Returns the next element in the iteration without advancing the iterator.
:rtype: int
"""
return self.current
def next(self):
"""
:rtype: int
"""
val = self.current
self.current = self.iterator.next() if self.iterator.hasNext() else None
return val
def hasNext(self):
"""
:rtype: bool
"""
return self.current is not None
# Your PeekingIterator object will be instantiated and called as such:
# iter = PeekingIterator(Iterator(nums))
# while iter.hasNext():
# val = iter.peek() # Get the next element but not advance the iterator.
# iter.next() # Should return the same value as [val].
