Iterator vs loop for Collection

+ // NOTE 1: Arrays.sort, Collections.sort etc use quicksort which is inplace sorting algo. Hence these methods are void

+  * Note 2: While iterating over Collection, if we are making modification to Collection
+  * then we sould use Iterator for iterating
+  * 
+  * If we are not making any modification, then we can use get(int index) method
+  * Example: List<Meeting> meetings = new ArrayList<Meeting>();
+  * int count=0;
+  * Meeting curr=null;
+  * Meeting prev = meetings.get(0);
+  * for(int i=1;i<meetings.size();i++){
+  * 	curr=meetings.get(i);
+  * 	if(curr.start < prev.end)
+  * 		count++;
+  * 	prev=curr;
+  * }
