What is the easiest/best/most correct way to iterate through the characters of a string in Java?

Question

StringTokenizer? Convert the String to a char[] and iterate over that? Something else?

Answer 1

Two options

for(int i = 0, n = s.length() ; i < n ; i++) { 
    char c = s.charAt(i); 
}

or

for(char c : s.toCharArray()) {
    // process c
}

The first is probably faster, then 2nd is probably more readable.
