Usage

[](#usage)

### CountableIterator

[](#countableiterator)

This abstract class implements only [\\Countable](https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.countable.php) and [\\Iterator](https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.iterator) interfaces and has own storage.

Data for iterating and counting must be in protected property `$this->countableIterator`.

```
use Francalek\DataType\CountableIterator;

class Sheeps extends CountableIterator
{
	public function __construct(int $sheeps = 5)
	{
		$herd = array_fill(0, $sheeps, 'Sheep');
		$this->countableIterator = $herd;
	}
}
```

And now you can iterating through your class:

```
echo "I can't sleep :(\n";

$sheeps = new Sheeps();
foreach ($sheeps as $nr => $sheep) {
	echo $sheep.' '.(++$nr)."\n";
}

exit("Chrrr...\n");
```

Or counting:

```
echo "I can't sleep :(\n";

$sheeps = new Sheeps();
echo "I have ".count($sheeps)." sheeps in total.\n";

exit("Chrrr...\n");
```
