package stateless
import (

)
// Cycle creates an [Iterator] that repeats the elements of the input [Iterator] indefinitely.
// The iterator cycles through all elements of the input, and when it reaches the end, it starts over from the beginning.
// This creates an infinite iterator, so it should be used with caution and typically combined with operations that limit the output.
//
// Type Parameters:
// - U: The type of elements in the iterator
//
// Parameters:
// - ma: The input iterator to cycle through
//
// Returns:
// - An iterator that infinitely repeats the elements of the input iterator
//
// Example:
//
// iter := stateless.FromArray([]int{1, 2, 3})
// cycled := stateless.Cycle(iter)
// // Produces: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, ... (infinitely)
//
// // Typically used with Take to limit output:
// limited := stateless.Take(7)(cycled)
// // Produces: 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1
