Why isn’t this code causing a ConcurrentModificationException? [duplicate]

by

According to the Java API docs Iterator.hasNext does not throw a ConcurrentModificationException.

After checking "January" and "February" you remove one element from the list. Calling it.hasNext() does not throw a ConcurrentModificationException but returns false. Thus your code exits cleanly. The last String however is never checked. If you add "April" to the list you get the Exception as expected.

import java.util.List;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;

public class Main {
        public static void main(String args[]) {

                List<String> myList = new ArrayList<String>();
                myList.add("January");
                myList.add("February");
                myList.add("March");
                myList.add("April");

                Iterator<String> it = myList.iterator();
                while(it.hasNext())
                {
                    String item = it.next();
                    System.out.println("Checking: " + item);
                    if("February".equals(item))
                    {
                        myList.remove(item);
                    }
                }

                for (String item : myList)
                {
                    System.out.println(item);
                }

        }
}
