The question is: does the business logic inside your loop need to know the current index or not? In the example you give below, the answer is clearly yes. I can think of a few other examples where indices are necessary, but from my experience, they are more the exception than the norm. In most cases, foreach loops are enough and a great improvement over index based loops (but not because of parallelism, as I explained in my previous email). -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
