How to write effective code for looping in Java

/** Normal way of writing code **/
for (int i=0 ; i<s.length;i++)
{
String s1 = s[i];
System.out.println(s1);
}

/** Effective and improve performance of code. **/
for(String s1: s)
{
System.out.println(s1);
}

Currency Formater w.r.t. country

class CurrencyFormatExample {

public void currencyFormat(Locale currentLocale) {
Double currency = new Double(9843.21);

String currencyOut;

currencyFormatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance(currentLocale);
currencyOut = currencyFormatter.format(currency);
System.out.println(currencyOut + ” ” + currentLocale.toString()+”\n”);
}

public static void main(String args[]) {
Locale[] locales = new Locale[]{new Locale(“fr”, “FR”), new Locale(“de”, “DE”),
new Locale(“ca”, “CA”), new Locale(“rs”, “RS”), new Locale(“en”, “IN”)
};

CurrencyFormatExample[] formate = new CurrencyFormatExample[locales.length];

for (int i = 0; i < locales.length; i++) {
formate[i] = new CurrencyFormatExample();
formate[i].currencyFormat(locales[i]);
}
}
