ForLoop & Foreach

They exist to service different needs. However, in some situations you can use both.
for(int i=0; i<array.Length; i++)is faster for iterating over an array, but then you have to do more work as you have to extract the values out of the array manually.

Actually, Brad Abrams here[^] says that for arrays, for and foreach generate identical code for iteration.

Interesting - I've never check the MSIL but I've seen performance stats on code that suggest the for() is faster than foreach() for arrays - I guess it was talking about ArrayList and I didn't pick up on that.
