Iterate through string array in Java

Question

I have String array with some components, this array has 5 components and it vary some times. What I would like to do is to iterate through that array and get the first comp

Answer 1

I would argue instead of testing i less than elements.length - 1 testing i + 1 less than elements.length. You aren't changing the domain of the array that you are looking at (i.e. ignoring the last element), but rather changing the greatest element you are looking at in each iteration.

String[] elements = { "a", "a","a","a" };

for(int i = 0; i + 1 < elements.length; i++) {
    String first = elements[i];
    String second = elements[i+1];
    //do something with the two strings
}
