For-each loop

• The for-each loop introduced in Java5.
• It is mainly used to traverse array or collection elements.
• The advantage of for-each loop is that it eliminates the possibility of bugs and makes the code more readable.
• It works on elements basis not index.
• It returns element one by one in the defined variable.
• It is easier to use than simple for loop because we don't need to increment value and use subscript notation.

Syntax

for(Type var:array){  
//code to be executed  
}  
 

or

 for(data_type variable : array | collection){  
//code to be executed  
}    
   

Example of for each Loop

/*
Demonstrate the for each loop.
save file "ForEachExample.java".
*/

public class ForEachExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    int array[]={10,11,12,13,14};
    for(int i:array){
        System.out.println(i);
    }
  }
}
 

Output:

10
11
12
13
14
