Java: Alternative to iterator.hasNext() if using for-each to loop over a collection

Question

I'm trying to replace an iterator-based loop over a Java list with a for-each statement, but the code uses at some point iterator.hasNext() to check if it reached the last element in the list.

Is there something similar for the for-each alternative?

for (Object current : objectList) {
   if (last-element) 
      do-something-special
}

Answer 1

for-each is just syntactic sugar for iterator version and if you check compiled bytecode, then you'll notice that compilator actually change it into iterator version.

With a for-each form you can't check whether you'll have more elements or not. Just stay with explicit iterator use if you need that feature.

Answer 2

In addition to Luno's answer:

Iterator<MyClass> it = myCollection.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
  MyClass myClass = it.next():
  // do something with myClass
}

translates to:

for (MyClass myClass:myCollection) {
  // do something with myClass
}
