/**

 * Iterator implementation for traversing individuals in a population during evolutionary algorithms.

 * 

 * <p>PopulationIterator provides a standard Java Iterator interface for accessing individuals in a {@link Population},

 * combining genotypes with their corresponding fitness values to create complete {@link Individual} instances during

 * iteration.

 * 

 * <p>This iterator enables convenient traversal patterns such as:

 * <ul>

 * <li><strong>Enhanced for loops</strong>: Iterate over individuals using for-each syntax</li>

 * <li><strong>Stream operations</strong>: Convert populations to streams for functional processing</li>

 * <li><strong>Sequential access</strong>: Process individuals one at a time without loading all into memory</li>

 * <li><strong>Collection integration</strong>: Use with Java Collection framework methods</li>

 * </ul>

 * 

 * <p>The iterator maintains internal state to track the current position and constructs {@link Individual} objects

 * on-demand by combining genotypes and fitness values from the underlying population at the same index.

 * 

 * <p>Key characteristics:

 * <ul>

 * <li><strong>Type safety</strong>: Parameterized with fitness type for compile-time type checking</li>

 * <li><strong>Lazy evaluation</strong>: Creates Individual objects only when requested</li>

 * <li><strong>Memory efficient</strong>: Doesn't duplicate population data, references original</li>

 * <li><strong>Standard interface</strong>: Implements Java Iterator contract completely</li>

 * </ul>

 * 

 * <p>Usage patterns:

 * 

 * <pre>{@code

 * // Enhanced for loop iteration

 * Population<Double> population = getPopulation();

 * for (Individual<Double> individual : population) {

 * 	System.out.println("Fitness: " + individual.fitness());

 * }

 * 

 * // Stream-based processing

 * population.stream()

 * 		.filter(individual -> individual.fitness() > threshold)

 * 		.mapToDouble(Individual::fitness)

 * 		.average();

 * 

 * // Manual iteration

 * Iterator<Individual<Double>> iterator = population.iterator();

 * while (iterator.hasNext()) {

 * 	Individual<Double> individual = iterator.next();

 * 	processIndividual(individual);

 * }

 * }</pre>

 * 

 * <p>Thread safety considerations:

 * <ul>

 * <li><strong>Single-threaded use</strong>: Iterator instances are not thread-safe</li>

 * <li><strong>Population stability</strong>: Underlying population should not be modified during iteration</li>

 * <li><strong>Concurrent iterations</strong>: Multiple iterators can be created for the same population</li>

 * </ul>

 * 

 * @param <T> the type of fitness values in the population, must be comparable for selection operations

 * @see Population

 * @see Individual

 * @see java.util.Iterator
