Answer
To check if more elements are available for iteration.
The `hasNext()` method is used to determine if there are more elements to iterate over in a collection, ensuring the `next()` call is safe. For example, when iterating over a list of orders, `hasNext()` prevents exceptions by ensuring you only call `next()` when elements remain.
