/**
* Iterator for maps of type float and Object.
* <p/>
* The iterator semantics for Trove's primitive maps is slightly different
* from those defined in <tt>java.util.Iterator</tt>, but still well within
* the scope of the pattern, as defined by Gamma, et al.
* <p/>
* This iterator does <b>not</b> implicitly advance to the next entry when
* the value at the current position is retrieved. Rather, you must explicitly
* ask the iterator to <tt>advance()</tt> and then retrieve either the <tt>key()</tt>,
* the <tt>value()</tt> or both. This is done so that you have the option, but not
* the obligation, to retrieve keys and/or values as your application requires, and
* without introducing wrapper objects that would carry both. As the iteration is
* stateful, access to the key/value parts of the current map entry happens in
* constant time.
* <p/>
* In practice, the iterator is akin to a "search finger" that you move from
* position to position. Read or write operations affect the current entry only and
* do not assume responsibility for moving the finger.
* <p/>
* Here are some sample scenarios for this class of iterator:
* <p/>
* <pre>
* // accessing keys/values through an iterator:
* for ( TFloatObjectIterator it = map.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
* it.advance();
* if ( satisfiesCondition( it.key() ) ) {
* doSomethingWithValue( it.value() );
* }
* }
* </pre>
* <p/>
* <pre>
* // modifying values in-place through iteration:
* for ( TFloatObjectIterator it = map.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
* it.advance();
* if ( satisfiesCondition( it.key() ) ) {
* it.setValue( newValueForKey( it.key() ) );
* }
* }
* </pre>
* <p/>
* <pre>
* // deleting entries during iteration:
* for ( TFloatObjectIterator it = map.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {
* it.advance();
* if ( satisfiesCondition( it.key() ) ) {
* it.remove();
* }
* }
* </pre>
* <p/>
* <pre>
* // faster iteration by avoiding hasNext():
* TFloatObjectIterator iterator = map.iterator();
* for ( int i = map.size(); i-- > 0; ) {
* iterator.advance();
* doSomethingWithKeyAndValue( iterator.key(), iterator.value() );
* }
* </pre>
