It is called enhanced for loop. It lets you iterate over any `Iterable
` with `for (E element : somethingIterable – Pshemo Feb 24 '15 at 04:05)` or arrays `Type[]` with `for (Type t : arrayOfType)` http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/language/foreach.html -
It is a "for each" loop in an instance method in an object of a class that implements `Iterable
`. – Sergey Kalinichenko Feb 24 '15 at 04:06 -
Another form of a for loop. We call it the for each loop. Probably the simplest way to iterate over an array or a list. Within the for each you could just do a[dot][number] to get a particular element in the list. – A1ternat1ve Feb 24 '15 at 05:06
