Accessing Iteration Index in Java's For-Each Loop

In Java's for-each loop, accessing the current iteration count can prove to be a bit challenging. Unlike the traditional for loop (e.g., for (int i = 0; i

Is there a built-in way?

Unfortunately, there is no built-in way to access an iteration count directly with the for-each loop construct.

Alternative Approach: Counter Variable

The only way to keep track of iteration count in a for-each loop is to manually define a counter variable and increment it within the loop. For example:

int counter = 0;
for (String s: stringArray) {
  // Do something with s
  counter  ;
}

This approach allows you to keep track of the current iteration and use it for various purposes, such as displaying progress or limiting the number of iterations.
