How to eat an elephant in Java (See related posts)

How do you eat an elephant? Well, 'bite by bite', they told me. In Java, this may look like this:

  Elephant elephant = ...; // get the elephant from somewhere

  while (!elephant.isEatenCompletely()) {
    elephant.haveOneBite();
  }


Why am I writing this? Well, simply to test my dzone account ;)

Proof that Ruby > Java:

elephant.bites.each do { |bite| bite.eat! }



elephant.each_bite do { |bite| bite.eat! }



elephant.bites.map &:eat!



elephant.have_one_bite until elephant.bites.empty?


Should I go on...?

Haha, when I read the OP I was thinking something like:
elephant.bite! until elephant.eaten?
