Java library to get Nth element from a Collection or Iterable

Question

I have a Collection and need to get the Nth element as returned by its Iterator. I know I can iterate while counting through its Iterator elements. Is there a third party library (Google Guava or Apache Commons) that does this?

Answer 1

Guava's Iterators.get can help

Advances iterator position + 1 times, returning the element at the positionth position.
