Enhanced / advanced for loop in Java

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhanced for loop is applicable only for arrays,
Arrays can be of int or string type...
let's see the old style of writing of for loop in java.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

public class ForLoop { public static void main(String[] args) { //old style of writing for loop int arr_int[] = {0,1,2,3,4}; //can write: int[] arr_int = {0,1,2,3,4}; for (int i=0; i< arr_int.length; i++) { System.out.println("Array element [" +i+"] is "+arr_int[i]); } String arr_str[] = {"A1","B2","C3","D4"}; //For string array for (int i=0; i< arr_str.length; i++) { System.out.println("Array element [" +i+"] is "+arr_str[i]); } } }

Let's see the advanced for loop: Syntax: for(dataType VarName : CollectionArray)

public class AdvForLoop { public static void main(String[] args) { //let's see the advanced for loop int k = 0; for(String s:arr_str) //short as compared to: for (int i=0; i< arr_str.length; i++) { System.out.println("Array element [" + k++ +"] is "+s); } } }
