# Interface java.util.Enumeration

public interface Enumeration

The Enumeration interface specifies a set of methods that may be used to enumerate, or count through, a set of values. The enumeration is consumed by use; its values may only be counted once.

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

    	for (Enumeration e = v.elements() ; e.hasMoreElements() ;) {
    	    System.out.println(e.nextElement());
    	}

  Vector, Hashtable

hasMoreElements()
  Returns true if the enumeration contains more elements; false if its empty.
nextElement()
  Returns the next element of the enumeration.

hasMoreElements

      public abstract boolean hasMoreElements()

nextElement

      public abstract Object nextElement()

  Returns the next element of the enumeration. Calls to this method will enumerate successive elements.

  Throws: NoSuchElementException
