Iterate through string array in Java

Question

I have String array with some components, this array has 5 components and it vary some times. What I would like to do is to iterate through that array and get the first component and the component next to that one. So the first time I would get the component number one and the component number 2, the second time would get the number 2 and 3, the third time number 3 and 4... And so on until you get to the last component.

This how far I have come:

String[] elements = { "a", "a","a","a" };

for( int i = 0; i <= elements.length - 1; i++)
{
    // get element number 0 and 1 and put it in a variable, 
    // and the next time get element      1 and 2 and put this in another variable. 
}

How can I accomplish this?

You can do an enhanced for loop (for java 5 and higher) for iteration on array's elements:

String[] elements = {"a", "a", "a", "a"};   
for (String s: elements) {           
    //Do your stuff here
    System.out.println(s); 
}
