List iteration - Implementation

How do you manipulate lists? In what language?

In my very limited knowledge:
1. C++ Iterators
2. D Ranges
3. Linked Lists

See for ranges vs iterators http://informit.com/articles/...

Does anybody have links for advantages for iterators? Why should I use them?

Clojure. map, filter and reduce. (or the same functions in basically any functional language.)

Java also now has the Stream API which allows you to do the same thing.

someList.stream().map(object -> object.doStuff());

someList.stream().filter(object -> object.property == someValue).collect(Collectors.toList());

Python iterators.
