Common Ancestor to Java Array and List

Question

In .NET, both array and list have Enumerable as ancestor, so a method that accept Enumerable as an argument can receive both array and list as its argument. I wonder if ther

Answer 1

Array and List in Java do not share a common ancestor other than java.lang.Object.

Both can be accessed using the foreach loop, like so:

String [] array = new String [] { "foo", "bar", "baz", };
List list = Arrays.asList( "x", "y", "z");

for (String s : array)
    System.out.println(s);

for (String s : list)
    System.out.println(s);
