Range expression: iterating between two LocalDate objects

1

I'm just wondering if there's a way to iterate between two java.time.LocalDate objects, one day at a time, by using Range expressions like this:

 
for(x in LocalDate.of(2016, Month.JANUARY, 1)..LocalDate.of(2016, Month.JANUARY, 7)) { .. }

I've tried to declare an extension function to add an iterator() function to java.time.LocalDate but it didn't work.

Fixed. I've just added the following function...

 
operator fun ClosedRange<LocalDate>.iterator() : Iterator<LocalDate>{
    return object: Iterator<LocalDate> {
        private var next = this@iterator.start
        private val finalElement = this@iterator.endInclusive
        private var hasNext = !next.isAfter(this@iterator.endInclusive)

 override fun hasNext(): Boolean = hasNext





        override fun next(): LocalDate {

            val value = next

            if(value == finalElement) {

                hasNext = false

            }

            else {

                next = next.plusDays(1)

            }

            return value

  }

  }

}


Thanks.

Since Progression<T> is deprecated, how could I switch to another iterator (ie. one that iterates over weeks)?

No one stops you from implementing your own LocalDateProgression : Iterable<LocalDate> and providing extension function step for ClosedRange<LocalDate> returning that progression:

fun ClosedRange<LocalDate>.step(step: TemporalAmount): LocalDateProgression = ...
