How to get the current item from iterator

Is it possible to get the current item from an iterator in Rust?

I would like the same functionality as .next() but it wouldn’t continue to the next item, it would just return the current item.

so:

fn main() {
    let x = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

    let iterator = x.iter(); // Create an iterator

    // y is now just a single i32 from the x array
    let y = iterator.next().unwrap();

    // I'm looking for method that will return the current item from the iterator
    // Something like iterator.current() which is not implemented for some reason.
    let z = iterator.current();
}

>Solution :

You can wrap your iterator in Peekable:

fn main() {
    let x = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

    let iterator = x.iter().peekable();

    let y = iterator.next().unwrap();

    let z = iterator.peek();
}

peek() returns the about-to-be-yielded item, i.e. the item that will be returned next time you’ll call next(). Note that it returns a reference and not an owned item.
