Just use it in the for each
for(Dog d : kennel) {
d.bark();
}
Answer from Tristian on Stack OverflowJust use it in the for each
for(Dog d : kennel) {
d.bark();
}
Here's how you do it using enhanced for loop.
for(Dog dog : kennel) {
dog.bark();
}
For your other question, if you're going to be using arrays, you'll have to declare the size before you start adding elements to it. One exception, however is if you are doing both initialization and declaration in the same line. For example:
Dog[] dogs = {new Dog("Harold", 1), new Dog("Arnold", 2)};

Found the answer
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Car car = new Car();
Bicycle bicycle = new Bicycle();
Van van = new Van();
Object[] racers = {car, bicycle, van};
for(Object x : racers) {
System.out.println(x.getClass());
((Vehicle) x).go(); // this is the only change I made
}
}
}
The following would have worked
Vehicle[] racers = {car, bicycle, van};
for (Vehicle x : racers) { ... x.go();
Dynamic detection does works too. You could use the modern Stream<?>.
Object[] racers = {car, bicycle, van};
Arrays.stream(racers)
.filter(r -> r instanceOf(Vehicle)
.map(Vehicle.class::cast)
.forEach(r -> {
r.go(); ...
};
Hello! I am trying to iterate through an ArrayList and having trouble with getting my loop right. I am trying to use an advanced for loop (the method I figured would be easier for me to understand) to iterate through an arrayList of objects that is some 60,000 records in a database. Basically I need to ask the user for an employee ID and the program is supposed to search the database for it and if it exist then it prints out the info associated to the ID (last name, first name, birthdate). I have all the code right for the database part but I am stuck on getting the program to print the info. I know I need to create the scanner object, the loop, and then somehow use get methods right? Any help would be appreciated!
Here is some of the code I have if it helps:
public static void main(String\[\] args) {
ArrayList<Employee> emp = getDBData();
searchEmployee(emp);
}
//Search Employee method...
private static void searchEmployee(ArrayList<Employee> emp) {
}
//My arrayList
ArrayList<Employee> set = new ArrayList<Employee>();
//The loop
Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System. in);
System.out.println("Enter the Employee ID to search: ");
String empID = scanner.nextLine();
for(Employee emp: set){
System.out.println(empID);
}The better question might be: Why wouldn't you want to use a FOR loop to iterate through an array? There are many ways to iterate through an Array or a collection and there is no law that states you have to use the FOR loop. In a lot of cases, it's simply the best to use for speed, ease of use, and readability. And yet, in other cases it is not:
The Array:
int[] array = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10};
Display Array with the typical for loop:
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
System.out.println(array[i]);
}
Display Array with the enhanced for loop:
for(Integer num : array) {
System.out.println(num);
}
Display Array with the do/while loop:
int i = 0;
do {
System.out.println(array[i++]);
} while (i < array.length);
Display Array with the while loop:
int j = 0;
while (j < array.length) {
System.out.println(array[j++]);
}
Display Array through Recursive Iteration:
iterateArray(array, 0); // 0 is the start index.
// The 'iterateArray()' method:
private static int iterateArray(int[] array, int index) {
System.out.println(array[index]);
index++;
if (index == array.length) {
return 0;
}
return iterateArray(array,index);
}
Display Array using Arrays.stream() (Java8+):
Arrays.stream(array).forEach(e->System.out.print(e + System.lineSeparator()));
Display Array using IntStream (Java8+):
IntStream.range(0, array.length).mapToObj(index -> array[index]).forEach(System.out::println);
Choose your desired weapon....
Considering you have an array like :
int[] array = {1,2,4,5,6};
You can use stream to iterate over it, apart from printing you can perform lot many thing over this array.
Arrays.stream(array).forEach(System.out::println);
Similarly you can do lot many action over collections as well:
List<String> myList = new ArrayList<>(); List
myList.add("A");
myList.add("B");
Stream.of(myList).forEach(System.out::println);
myList.forEach(System.out::println);
