iterator argument and will return the largest or smallest element. The ``"in"``
and ``"not in"`` operators also support iterators: ``X in iterator`` is true if
X is found in the stream returned by the iterator. You'll run into obvious
-problems if the iterator is infinite; ``max()``, ``min()``, and ``"not in"``
+problems if the iterator is infinite; ``max()``, ``min()``

Note that you can only go forward in an iterator; there's no way to get the
previous element, reset the iterator, or make a copy of it. Iterator objects
