The main differences between Enumeration and Iterator are:

  • Enumeration:
    • An older interface, part of the original version of Java.
    • Methods: hasMoreElements(), nextElement().
    • Does not support removing elements while iterating.
  • Iterator:
    • A more modern interface, part of the java.util package.
    • Methods: hasNext(), next(), remove().
    • Supports element removal via the remove() method while iterating.

In summary, Iterator is more flexible, supporting element removal, while Enumeration is more limited and primarily used for legacy code.
