java foreach skip first iteration

Question

Is there an elegant way to skip the first iteration in a Java5 foreach loop ?

Example pseudo-code:

for ( Car car : cars ) {     
   //skip if first, do w         


        

Answer 1

Elegant? Not really. You'd need to check/set a boolean.

The for-each loop is for all practical purposes fancy syntax for using an iterator. You're better off just using an iterator and advancing before you start your loop.
