Answer
Enhanced for loop is simpler, but Iterator allows element removal.
The enhanced for loop is more concise and readable, but lacks the ability to remove elements during iteration. An Iterator provides more control by allowing element removal and fine-grained iteration management. For instance, if you need to filter out discontinued products during iteration, an Iterator is more suitable. Enhanced for loops are great for read-only scenarios.
