Difference between enuernation and Iterator in Java Collection.

[Prabhat Ranjan]

Hi,

As we know Enumeration is deprecated Interface in Java Collection..

So what is the exact difference between enuernation and Iterator .


Please share !

Well, they're interfaces, so the only differences are the names and signatures of the methods. Iterator has shorter method names, which don't clutter your code as much, and it has the "remove()" method, which Enumeration lacks. That's it.

yes correct !

thanks

Enumeration is not deprecated, it is merely discouraged. It's the same as Vector vs ArrayList.
