C++ - External iterator and an internal

Difference between an external iterator and an internal iterator
An internal iterator is implemented by the member functions of the class which

An external iterator is implemented by a separate class which can be attached
to the object which has iteration logic.
The advantage of external iterator is that, many iterators can be made active
simultaneously on the existing or same object.
