    Is there any advantage to the traditional? Compiled efficiencies or whatnot to justify this?

    Don't know why you need to call him a retard. It might be he wants longhand for readability, in case another dev will take over maintaining your code should you ever leave.

    @Kairpooph because its a meme

    Also readibility would be a perfectly valid option if this wasnt dead simple android code where you basically just display stuff

    There's a huge fucking difference between indexed and enhanced ("short") loops. Enhanced loop uses iterator, try looping through big LinkedList and you'll see the difference easily.

    @sharktits it wasn't the point, I just provided it as an example. Also yes, I use if it makes sense.
