for (Iterator<String> itr = someList.iterator(); itr.hasNext(); ) {
   String item = itr.next();
   System.out.println(item);
}

如JLS中所定义的，每个循环的a可以有两种形式：

如果表达式类型是Iterable的子类型，则转换为：List<String>someList=newArrayList<String>（）；someList.add（“苹果”）；someList.add（“球”）；for（字符串项：someList）{System.out.println（项）；}//翻译为：for（Iterator<String>stringIterator=someList.iiterator（）；stringIterator.hasNext（）；）{字符串项=stringIterator.next（）；System.out.println（项）；}如果表达式必须具有数组类型T[]，则：String[]someArray=新字符串[2]；someArray[0]=“苹果”；someArray[1]=“球”；for（字符串项2:someArray）{系统输出打印（第2项）；}//翻译为：for（int i=0；i<someArray.length；i++）{字符串item2=someArray[i]；系统输出打印（第2项）；}

Java8已经引入了一些流，这些流在适当大小的数据集中通常表现得更好。我们可以将它们用作：

someList.stream().forEach(System.out::println);
Arrays.stream(someArray).forEach(System.out::println);

for (Iterator<String> itr = someList.iterator(); itr.hasNext(); ) {
   String item = itr.next();
   System.out.println(item);
}

它看起来像这样。非常粗糙。

for (Iterator<String> i = someList.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
        System.out.println(i.next());

Sun文档中对每一项都有很好的描述。

在Java5中添加的for each循环（也称为“增强的for循环”）相当于使用Java.util.Interator——这是一个语法糖。因此，在逐个按顺序读取每个元素时，应始终在迭代器上选择for each，因为它更方便和简洁。

对于每个

for (int i : intList) {
   System.out.println("An element in the list: " + i);
}

迭代器

Iterator<Integer> intItr = intList.iterator();
while (intItr.hasNext()) {
   System.out.println("An element in the list: " + intItr.next());
}

在某些情况下，您必须直接使用迭代器。例如，在使用For each时尝试删除元素可能会（将？）导致ConcurrentModificationException。

对于每个与For循环：基本区别

for循环和for each之间的唯一实际区别是，在可索引对象的情况下，您无权访问索引。需要基本for循环时的示例：

for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
   if(i < 5) {
      // Do something special
   }  else {
      // Do other stuff
   }
}

尽管您可以手动为每个创建单独的索引int变量，

int idx = -1;
for (int i : intArray) {
   idx++;
   ...
}

…不建议这样做，因为变量范围并不理想，基本的for循环只是这个用例的标准和预期格式。

对于每个与For循环：性能

访问集合时，for each比基本for循环的数组访问快得多。然而，当访问数组时（至少是使用原始数组和包装数组时），通过索引访问的速度要快得多。

为基元int数组的迭代器和索引访问之间的差异计时

在访问int或Integer数组时，索引比迭代器快23-40%。这是本文底部测试类的输出，它将100个元素的原始int数组中的数字相加（a是迭代器，B是索引）：

我还对Integer数组运行了这个，索引仍然是明显的赢家，但只快了18%到25%。

对于集合，迭代器比索引更快

然而，对于整数列表来说，迭代器显然是赢家。只需将测试类中的int数组更改为：

List<Integer> intList = Arrays.asList(new Integer[] {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100});

并对测试函数进行必要的更改（int[]到List<Integer>，length到size（）等）：

在一次测试中，它们几乎是等价的，但在集合中，迭代器获胜。

*这篇文章基于我在Stack Overflow上写的两个答案：

Java中for每个循环的用法和语法我应该使用迭代器还是forloop进行迭代？

}

每个的构造也对数组有效。例如

String[] fruits = new String[] { "Orange", "Apple", "Pear", "Strawberry" };

for (String fruit : fruits) {
    // fruit is an element of the `fruits` array.
}

这基本上等同于

for (int i = 0; i < fruits.length; i++) {
    String fruit = fruits[i];
    // fruit is an element of the `fruits` array.
}

因此，总体总结如下：[nsayer]以下是正在发生的事情的较长形式：

for（Iterator<String>i=someList.iiterator（）；i.hasNext（）；）{字符串项=i.next（）；System.out.println（项）；}注意，如果您需要使用i.移除（）；或访问实际的迭代器不能使用for（：）习惯用法，因为实际的迭代器只是推断。

nsayer的回答暗示了这一点，但是值得注意的是，OP用于（..）当“someList”为任何实现的东西java.lang.Iterable--它没有成为列表，或来自甚至你自己的类型，因此，可以与此一起使用语法。
