EC_HTABLE_ITER_NEXT(3)

✨ EC_HTABLE_ITER_NEXT ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Libecoli Programmer's Manual today and the star of the show is ec_htable_iter_next from section 3 💅

---

💖 NAME 💖

ec_htable_iter_next — the lil glow-up that makes your iterator point to the next element in the hash table 🦋

like. it walks. it moves. it slays. no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <ecoli/htable.h>

struct ec_htable_elt_ref * ec_htable_iter_next(
    struct ec_htable_elt_ref   *iter   /* The hash table iterator. */
);

so you're passing in iter, which is literally just the hash table iterator — that's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

---

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

you get back an iterator element 💖 …or NULL if there's no more element left. that's it. that's the whole story. when it's NULL, the party's over, the queue is empty, we've hit the end of the hash table and there is nothing more to see 🙈

so like. always check for NULL, bestie. always. the way that NULL will humble you if you don't 😭
