for loop error

[chandra reddy]

import java.util.*;
class SplitTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] tokens = args[0].split(args[1]);
System.out.println("count " + tokens.length);
for(String s : tokens)
System.out.println(">" + s + "<");
}
}
I am getting compilation error in the for statement .
Could any body explain how this for loop works.

Hello Anil,
i understood the split method , example abc5xya6adf9764 suppose we are spliting based on digit then it will split in to abc,xya and adf .so it also doing same it is not considering lost 764 , it consider if any nondigits only.

coming to my doubt am not understanding the the new format of for loop .

Are you compiling it with Java 5.0?

And please read our JavaRanch Naming Policy and change your display name to comply with it.

hi
chandu

What are you not able to understand?

The for loop is like this
if it is an int array the loop variable should be int like
int[] a={1,2,3,4};
for(int i:a)
System.out.println(i);

here i contains the value of a according to the index
Thanks
