To use the enhanced for each loop [available from Java 5 (or J2SE 1.5) onwards] on an object which of the following must be true?

The Object should be an Array

The Object should implement Collection interface

The Object should implement Iterator interface

The Object should implement Iterable interface

What is the answer according to you?? Did you try to find anything about this in any book or on the internet?? Checkout the documentation of java.lang.Iterable interface...

See iterable

Ok thanks for this. So the answer is
The Object should be an Array or The Object should implement Iterable interface?

for the record:
Implementing java.lang.Iterable interface allows an object to be the target of the "foreach" statement.
public interface Collection<E> extends Iterable<E>
public final class Array extends Object

Hi,

Other than Array, Any collections only can use the enhanced for loop? Please confirm!

If you see the documentation of java.util.Collection, you'll see that it extends the Iterable interface. And as has been said in this thread before, any class/interface that implements Iterable can be used in the enhanced for loop, so the answer is yes...
