Foreach in C++ and Java - GeeksforGeeks

Foreach loop is used to access elements of an array quickly without performing initialization, testing and increment/decrement. The working of foreach loops is to do something for every element rather than doing something n times.

There is no foreach loop in C, but both C++ and Java have support for foreach type of loop. In C++, it was introduced in C++ 11 and Java in JDK 1.5.0

The keyword used for foreach loop is “for” in both C++ and Java.

C++ Program:

// C++ program to demontrate use of foreach 
#include <iostream> 
using namespace std; 
  
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = { 10, 20, 30, 40 }; 
  
    // Printing elements of an array using 
    // foreach loop 
    for (int x : arr) 
        cout << x << endl; 
} 

Output:

Java program

// Java program to demonstrate use of foreach 
public class Main { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // Declaring 1-D array with size 4 
        int arr[] = { 10, 20, 30, 40 }; 
  
        // Printing elements of an array using 
        // foreach loop 
        for (int x : arr) 
            System.out.println(x); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Advantages of Foreach loop:-
1) Makes code more readable.
2) Eliminates the possibility of programming errors.
