// iterate over all elements of s -- this "foreach" syntax
// is possible AFAIK with all classes that implement Collection
for (Foo foo : s) {
// note use of C-like printf
System.out.printf("foo with value %d, hashcode %d\n",
foo.n, foo.hashCode());
}

In fact, it's possible with all classes that implement Iterable; the
Collection interface extends Iterable so you are correct, but it goes
further than just Collection.

The only classes in java.* and javax.* that implement it seem to
implement Collection (you'd think CharSequence as well, and perhaps even
Map and/or Enumeration or all the legacy classes that provide an
Enumeration, but no), but third party libraries can in principle
implement it separately.

The foreach syntax can also be used with arrays, including arrays of
unboxed primitives, even though using reflection on an array (e.g. (new
Object[3]).getClass().getInterfaces() only shows it implementing
Cloneable and Serializable, not Iterable.

Now you're being rude. Why don't you a) get your own from line and quit
using someone else's and b) talk about Java, or else c) get the **** off

What the hell are you babbling on about now? Have you been drinking or
something? You're not making an ounce of sense and you're obviously not
oriented to place or person, since this is a Java newsgroup and there
are no Pauls or Paolos here but you're babbling on about some people
with those names and not saying anything about Java.

Oh good -- someone else (two someone elses, between them) supplied
a better explanation than I did of the circumstances in which the
"foreach" syntax can be used. I wanted to mention it in case it
was of interest to Gene but was too lazy to do a proper job of

Yeah, yeah .... I guess it just seems strange to me that you went to
all the trouble of writing code to benchmark various approaches --
suggesting that sometimes you *do* engage in micro-optimization --
but are resistant to trying one more approach that (in my tests
anyway) sometimes reduced execution time by almost 50%. Just sayin',

It should be obvious to you why someone might do that.

The part that I was benchmarking is critical to my program. It
is repeatedly used since it is called for every non-newline character
in a file. Initialising a set of characters does not happen nearly so
often.
