What's the name of this type of iteration in Java?

for (Player p : players)
{

}

I haven't seen this until recently.

Yet most coders (ones capable of coding not only in Java) call it 
"foreach" or "for each".
This name exactly describe intent of this kind of loop, "execute some 
code for every element in collection".

You will also get Google hits with "Java for each"

Programmers love to create simplified replacements for HTML. 
They forget that the simplest language is the one you 
already know. They also forget that their simple little 
markup language will bit by bit become even more convoluted 
and complicated than HTML because of the unplanned way it grows.

It came with Java 1.5 in 2004.

:-)

It is usually called "for each" or "enhanced for".

I sometimes call it "new for".
