Take nth element of an Iterator

Question

I have a scala Iterator[A]. How can I reference the nth element of it?

For instance:

val myIter: Iterator[Seq[String]] = { .... }

//get the size of the Iterator

val s = myIter.size

//get 3rd element (base 0)

val third:Seq[String] = myIter.get(2)  <---- Something like this?

I maybe misreading the docs but can't find a function to do this easily. Thanks for help

If you want to live dangerously,

myIter.drop(2).next

or if you'd rather be safe

myIter.drop(2).take(1).toList.headOption
