deference between Iterator and Enumeration

 

Key	Iterator	Enumeration
Basic	In iterator we can read and remove element while traversing element in the collections	Using Enumeration we can only read element during traversing element in the collections
Access	It can be used with any class Of the collection frame work	It can be used only with legacy class of the collection framework such as a vector and Hash-Table
Fail-fast and fail safe	Any changes in the collection  such us removing element from the collection during a thread is iterating collection then it throw Concurrent  modification exception	Enumeration is fail safe in nature  It doesn’t throw concurrent modification exception
