  <p>The following abstract operations are added to or replace the operations found in section 7.4 (Operations on Iterator Objects).</p>
</emu-note>

<emu-clause id="sec-getiterator" aoid="GetIterator">
  <h1>GetIterator ( _obj_ <del>[ , _method_ ]</del><ins>[ , _hint_ ]</ins> )</h1>
  <emu-note>
    <p>This method has been modified to accept an optional parameter _hint_ which indicates whether we should attempt to find an async iterator for the object.  The _method_ parameter has been removed.  Call sites which use the optional _method_ parameter (`Array.from` and IterableToArrayLike) must be updated to call the function directly instead.</p>
  </emu-note>
  <p>The abstract operation GetIterator with argument _obj_ and optional argument _hint_ performs the following steps:</p>
  <emu-alg>
    1. <ins>If _hint_ was not passed, let _hint_ be ~normal~.</ins>
    1. <ins>Let _method_ be *undefined*.</ins>
    1. <ins>If _hint_ is ~async~, let _method_ be ? GetMethod(_obj_, @@asyncIterator).</ins>
    1. <ins>If _method_ is *undefined*, let _method_ be ? GetMethod(_obj_, @@iterator).</ins>
    1. <del>If _method_ was not passed, then</del>
      1. <del>Let _method_ be ? GetMethod(_obj_, @@iterator).</del>
    1. Let _iterator_ be ? Call(_method_, _obj_).
    1. If Type(_iterator_) is not Object, throw a *TypeError* exception.
    1. Return _iterator_.
