public interface Enumeration<E>

An object that implements the Enumeration interface generates a series of elements, one at a time. Successive calls to the nextElement method return successive elements of the series.

For example, to print all elements of a Vector<E> v:

for (Enumeration<E> e = v.elements(); e.hasMoreElements();)
       System.out.println(e.nextElement());

Methods are provided to enumerate through the elements of a vector, the keys of a hashtable, and the values in a hashtable. Enumerations are also used to specify the i
