Ah! You want a clear explanation of the enhanced for-loop (for-each loop) in your code. Let’s go step by step.
Syntax:
for(Type variable : collection) {
// use variable here
}
-
Type→ data type of the elements in the collection/array -
variable→ temporary variable that holds the current element in each iteration -
collection→ array, List, or any iterable
Example in your code:
for(String comp : components) {
// comp is the current string element from components array
}
-
componentsis aString[]array like{"home", ".", "user"} -
The loop does:
| Iteration | comp |
|---|---|
| 1 | "home" |
| 2 | "." |
| 3 | "user" |
-
On each iteration,
comptakes the value of the next element in the array.
Another example:
String[] arr = {"a", "b", "c"};
for(String s : arr) {
System.out.println(s);
}
Output:
a
b
c
✅ Key points:
-
You cannot modify the array structure (like adding/removing elements) inside an enhanced for-loop.
-
It is simpler than the traditional
for(int i=0; i<array.length; i++)loop. -
Great for iterating over arrays or collections when you just need the elements.
In your simplifyPath code:
for(String str1 : st) {
sb.append("/").append(str1);
}
-
stis a stack of strings. -
str1takes each element of the stack in order (bottom → top). -
You append
/+str1to theStringBuilder.
If you want, I can draw a small diagram showing how comp and str1 change in your simplifyPath example, which makes the enhanced for-loop super visual.
Do you want me to do that?
