Thread: Issues with changing values in for loops

Edit: solved

I am trying to use a for loop with the for(type *:*) syntax. I started in C++ so have never used this syntax. I am attempting to change some values inside this array but the values do not seem to be staying after exiting the loop.

for(char eachChar : msgArr)
{
	System.out.println(eachChar);
	eachChar = (char) (eachChar + 1);
	System.out.println(eachChar);
}
System.out.println(msgArr);

If message array starts as "test" the output will be:

t
u
e
f
s
t
t
u
test

The expected output should be uftu at the last line, but instead continues to say test! Am I missing something silly or am I misunderstanding this for loop syntax.

I appreciate any assistance!

--- Update ---

Ok eachChar is local variable to the for loop! I used a vanilla loop and that worked.
