Is there a Java equivalent of Python’s ‘enumerate’ function?

For collections that implement the List interface, you can call the listIterator() method to get a ListIterator. The iterator has (amongst others) two methods – nextIndex(), to get the index; and next(), to get the value (like other iterators).

So a Java equivalent of the Python above might be:

import java.util.ListIterator;  
import java.util.List;

List<String> numbers = Arrays.asList("zero", "one", "two");
ListIterator<String> it = numbers.listIterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
    System.out.println(it.nextIndex() + " " + it.next());
}

which, like the Python, outputs:

0 zero
1 one
2 two
