The Enhanced 'for' Statement

Java5 foreach循环详解

从Java 5(例如,JDK 1.5或者J2SE 5)起,出现了for循环的改进版。

格式为

for (type iteration-variable:iterableObject)
  constituent statement

或者

for (type iteration-variable:iterableObject){
  constituent statement
}

这种写法称为for each,意思就是对type类型的数组或集合iterableObject进行遍历。

下面举例说明

for (IntWritable val : values){
  sum += val.get();
} 

功能等同于
for(int i = 0; i<values.length; i++){
    sum=sum+values[i]; //对values[i]求和
}

### Java Traditional For Loop vs Enhanced For Loop Differences In Java, both traditional and enhanced `for` loops serve the purpose of iterating over elements but differ significantly in syntax and usage scenarios. #### Syntax Comparison The **traditional for loop** requires initialization, a condition check, and an increment or decrement statement explicitly defined within its structure: ```java // Traditional for loop example for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) { System.out.println(array[i]); } ``` Conversely, the **enhanced for loop**, introduced with Java 5, simplifies iteration by abstracting away index management. This results in cleaner code when only sequential access is needed without requiring direct manipulation of indices[^4]: ```java // Enhanced for loop example for (Type element : array) { System.out.println(element); } ``` #### Performance Implications Regarding performance concerns about whether one form might be faster than another, it's important to note that modern JVM optimizations often render these differences negligible. The claim that "results are dead-code eliminated" suggests that under certain conditions, unnecessary computations may indeed be optimized out during compilation[^1]. However, this does not imply inherent speed advantages between the two forms across all contexts. #### Use Cases When dealing with collections where indexed access isn't necessary, such as performing operations on every item sequentially, the enhanced version offers more readable and concise syntax. On the other hand, situations demanding precise control over iteration order or needing to modify collection contents while traversing would favor using the standard variant due to greater flexibility provided through explicit indexing mechanisms[^3].
