Java iterators

[swappo1]

Does Java have iterators for strings like C++?

[Reiger]

Not directly but a String can be converted to a char array which can be accessed using the for-each syntax:


public void test(String test) {
for(Character c: test.toCharArray()) {
System.out.println(c);
}
}

You could also do:

public void test(String test) {
for(int i = 0; i < test.length(); i++) {
System.out.println(test.charAt(i));
}
}
Though I guess this does a conversion from a String to a char at every iteration of the for loop, where the previous example only converts once at the for loop's initialisation. However, I thought I'd add it nonetheless.
