Cancer of the Semicolon

The following is only relevant to the programmers on my friends list, probably...

So, did you know that Java has syntactic sugar for iterating over a collection? So you can write this:
for (SomeType item: stuff) {
// code here
}Instead of:
for (Iterator iter = stuff.iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) {
SomeType item = iter.next()
// code here
}I didn't until recently. When did that happen? Was that not around when I was first learning Java?

Despite that, I'm feeling more competent Java-wise lately. I feel that I finally understand the JNI (how to use it, anyways). I even got a C++ API for the multitouch hardware I'm using to play nicely with some Java code.

class, programming
