Java: “Anonymous” array in for-each-loop

Question

While I was trying something special in for loop I recognized that Java doesn\'t seem to like putting an anonymous array right as the source for a for-each-loop:

<         


        

Answer 1

You want

for (String crt : new String [] {"a","b","c"} ) {
    doSomething();
}

I use IntelliJ and it says put the message "expression expected" on the right-hand side of the colon in the for-loop, which seems more accurate.

I should add that IntelliJ also offers to add the "new String []" automagically for me.
