What is an iterator in a double linked list and what is it used for
"Iterator" is more of a C++ or Java term. Applying the concept in C, it would just be a pointer or function used to walk a list from head to tail.
The traditional use of i as the control variable in for() loops which iterate through an array stands for either index or iterator -- same principle.
