Enhanced 'for' statement

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports enhanced for statements.

Example:

for (int x: Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3)) {
  System.out.println(x);
}

After the quick-fix is applied:

for (Iterator<Integer> iterator = Arrays.asList(1, 2, 3).iterator(); iterator.hasNext(); ) {
  final int x = iterator.next();
  System.out.println(x);
}
