Ideas in this flowchart

  • Java array iteration using indexed and enhanced for loops
  • An indexed for loop iterates through an array using its length property.
  • The array arr is initialized with five integer elements.
  • The index variable i starts at zero, representing the first array element.
  • The loop continues while i is strictly less than arr.length.
  • Each iteration assigns 5 * i to arr[i].
  • This indexed loop is idiomatic for processing arrays.
  • Since Java 5, enhanced for loops can iterate over arrays without an index variable.
  • Enhanced for loops are also called foreach loops.
  • The syntax declares the element type and a loop-scoped variable, followed by a colon and the array.
  • Each iteration updates the loop variable a to the next array value.
  • The example prints each value of the array.

"Using the .length property you can design a for loop that increments an index variable to iterate over the elements in an array.\n\nint arr[] = new int[5];\n\nfor(int i=0; i<arr.length; i++) {\n\narr[i] = 5 * i;\n\n}\n\nThe for loop above initializes the variable i to zero, corresponding to the first element in the array. The continuation condition specifies that the loop continues while i is strictly less than the size of the array denoted using the arr.length property. This for loop iteration is idiomatic when processing arrays. In addition, Java (as of version 5) supports foreach loops that allow you to iterate over the elements of an array without using an index variable. Java refers to these loops as “enhanced for loops,” but they are essentially foreach loops.\n\nfor(int a : arr) {\n\nSystem.out.println(a);\n\n}\n\nThe syntax still uses the keyword for, but instead of an index variable, it specifies the type and a the loop-scoped variable identifier followed by a colon and the array that you want to iterate over. Each iteration of the loop updates the variable a to the next value in the array."
