The
Iterable interface (java.lang.Iterable) is one of the root interfaces of the Java collection classes. The Collection interface extends Iterable, so all subtypes of Collection also implement the Iterable interface.
A class that implements the
Iterable can be used with the new for-loop. Here is such an example:List list = new ArrayList();
for(Object o : list){
//do something o;
}
The
Iterable interface has only one method:public interface Iterable {
public Iterator iterator();
}
How you implement this
Iterable interface so that you can use it with the new for-loop, is explained in the text Implementing the Iterable Interface, in my Java Generics tutorial.
