Generic for-loop: Is there a way to get iteration information?

Question

I am used to implement loops with generics like that:

for (final Dog lDog : lAllDog) {
   ...
}

Unfortunality for another business case I need the current count of the iteration. I know I can solve this by coding somthing like that:

for (int i = 0 ; i < lAllDog.length(); i++) {
   System.out.println(i);
}

or

int i = 0;
for (final Dog lDog : lAllDog) {
   ...
   i++;
}

but is there a way to get the current count of iteration with my first code example without declaring a new int or change the whole loop header?

Thx a lot

Answer 1

Briefly, no. You have to use the indexing method to do that.

Answer 2

No, there is no other to get count of iteration other than you described in your question. You'll have to use old way to have counter defined
