Implementing this interface allows an object to be the target of the "for-each loop" statement. See For-each Loop

Summary

Public methods
`default void`	`forEach(Consumer<? super T> action)` Performs the given action for each element of the `Iterable` until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception.
`abstract Iterator<T>`	`iterator()` Returns an iterator over elements of type `T`.
`default Spliterator<T>`	`spliterator()` Creates a `Spliterator` over the elements described by this `Iterable`.

Public methods

forEach

added in API level 24

void forEach (Consumer<? super T> action)

Performs the given action for each element of the Iterable until all elements have been processed or the action throws an exception. Unless otherwise specified by the implementing class, actions are performed in the order of iteration (if an iteration order is specified). Exceptions thrown by the action are relayed to the caller.

Implementation Requirements:

The default implementation behaves as if:

for (T t : this)
         action.accept(t);

Parameters
`action`	`Consumer`: The action to be performed for each element

Throws
`NullPointerException`	if the specified action is null

iterator

added in API level 1

Iterator<T> iterator ()

Returns an iterator over elements of type T.

Returns
`Iterator<T>`	an Iterator.

spliterator

added in API level 24

Spliterator<T> spliterator ()

Creates a Spliterator over the elements described by this Iterable.

Implementation Requirements:

The default implementation creates an early-binding spliterator from the iterable's Iterator. The spliterator inherits the fail-fast properties of the iterable's iterator.

Implementation Note:

The default implementation should usually be overridden. The spliterator returned by the default implementation has poor splitting capabilities, is unsized, and does not report any spliterator characteristics. Implementing classes can nearly always provide a better implementation.

Returns
`Spliterator<T>`	a `Spliterator` over the elements described by this `Iterable`.
