Detailed Description

template<typename TYPE>
class original::stepIterator< TYPE >

Abstract base class for step iterators.

Template Parameters

TYPE	Type of elements being iterated

Implements core functionality for iterators that iterate through elements one step at a time. Supports:

Stepwise forward traversal (next and prev)
Cloning and comparison operations
Element access/modification
Position validity checking

Note: Derived iterators should provide the specific behavior of moving to the next element and accessing the current element.
