What is difference between Iterator and Enumeration?

Both Iterator and Enumeration are used in Java to iterate over a collection of elements, but they have some important differences.

• Iterator was introduced in JDK 1.2, while Enumeration was available from the initial version of Java.
• An iterator is a more modern and powerful way of traversing a collection, it has more functionality than Enumeration.
• Iterator allows the caller to remove elements from the underlying collection during the iteration with well-defined semantics, Enumeration is read-only and does not provide this functionality.
• Iterator has a remove() method to remove the current element from the collection, Enumeration does not have this method.
• Iterator is used in the latest collection classes like ArrayList, LinkedList,
