BytesIter

struct BytesIter[mut: Bool, //, origin: Origin[mut=mut]]

Iterator over the raw UTF-8 bytes of a string slice, constructed by StringSlice.bytes().

Each call to __next__() yields the next Byte value from the underlying UTF-8 encoded data. Unlike CodepointsIter and GraphemeSliceIter, this iterator operates at the byte level and does not interpret multi-byte UTF-8 sequences as codepoints or grapheme clusters.

Parameters

  • mut (Bool): Whether the underlying string data is mutable.
  • origin (Origin[mut=mut]): The origin of the underlying string data.

Implemented traits

AnyType, Copyable, ImplicitlyCopyable, ImplicitlyDestructible, Iterable, Iterator, Movable, Sized

comptime members

Element

comptime Element = Byte

The element type yielded by iteration.

IteratorType

comptime IteratorType[iterable_mut: Bool, //, iterable_origin: Origin[mut=iterable_mut]] = BytesIter[origin]

The iterator type for this bytes iterator.

Parameters

Methods

__iter__

def __iter__(ref self) -> Self

Iterator over the underlying string's bytes.

Returns:

Self: This iterator.

__next__

def __next__(mut self) -> Byte

Get the next byte in the underlying string slice.

Returns:

Byte: The next byte in the string.

Raises:

StopIteration if the iterator has been exhausted.

bounds

def bounds(self) -> Tuple[Int, Optional[Int]]

Returns bounds [lower, upper] for the remaining iterator length.

Returns:

Tuple[Int, Optional[Int]]: The lower and upper bound of this iterator.

__len__

def __len__(self) -> Int

Returns the remaining length of this iterator in bytes.

Returns:

Int: Number of bytes remaining in this iterator.
