Check out the third–from–last sentence, "Similarly it is not ...", at the bottom of this page in the javadocs guide The For-Each Loop.

Code:

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] strs = new String[5];
        int count = 0;
        for(String s : strs) {
            System.out.println("count = " + count++);
            s = "alfred e neuman";
        }
        for(String s : strs)
            System.out.println(s);
        System.out.println("----------------");
        for(int j =0; j < strs.length; j++)
            strs[j] = "tally ho";
        for(String s : strs)
            System.out.println(s);
    }
