I'm willing to believe for-loop over array is as efficient as fortran-style loop

+ for (E e : a) { + action.accept(e); + } Yeah, i previously went through a whole bunch of code replacing such fortran-style loops with 'foreach' style based on automated code analysis. But wouldn't this help a little more? : + final E[] a = this.a; + for (E e : a) { + action.accept(e); + } Thanks, i changed it to that. ? Why this line is needed:

final E[] a = this.a;

Since according to specification foreach over array should be transformed to: JLS 14.14.2: *T[] #a = Expression; * L1: L2: ... Lm: for (int #i = 0; #i < #a.length; #i++) { VariableModifiersopt TargetType Identifier = #a[#i]; Statement }

So your code will be transformed to:

Or I miss something?

I more like the given style with less spaces: 3854 for (int i=0; i<a.length; i++) It better visualizes the 3 parts of the for statement.

Subjectively that irritates my eyes :-) non-subjectively it is inconsistently applied. Paul.
