Description

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

while (snl.hasNext()) {
     SubjectNode node = snl.getNextSubjectNode();
}
                
or
while (snl.hasNext()) {
     SubjectNode[] nodes = snl.getNextSubjectNodes(snl.available());
}
                
MethodgetNextSubjectNode
