what is current and head in Linked list code example

Example: linked list head and tail

	// return Iterator instance 
	public Iterator<T> iterator()

	// return current data and update pointer 
	public T next()

	// implement if needed

// Driver class

		List<String> myList = new List<>(); 
		
		// Add Elements 
		myList.add("abc");

		myList.add("xyz"); 
		
		// Iterate through the list using For Each Loop 
		for (String string : myList) 
			System.out.println(string);
