How does primitive array work with new for each loop in Java?

Question

I understand that new for each loop works with Iterable and arrays, but I don\'t know what goes behind the scenes when working with arrays.

Can anyone help me under

A bit late, but here it is.

The compiler knows if you are using the for-each loop statement for a collection or for an array.

If used for collection, the compiler translates the for-each loop to the equivalent for loop using an Iterator.

If used for an array, the compiler translates the for-each loop to the equivalent for loop using an index variable.
