[Effective Java] Item 57: Use exceptions only for exceptional conditions

// Do not use this hideous code for iteration over a collection
try{
	Iterator<Foo> i = collection.iterator();
	while(true){
		Foo foo = i.next();
		...
	}
} catch(NoSuchElementException e){
}

上面的代码，并不是为了处理一些exception的情况，只是因为collection没有元素的时候，next()方法会抛出异常，为了跳出这个循环。我们本可以通过hasNext()方法来判断，来规避这个额外的exception。

	Iterator<Foo> i = collection.iterator();
	while(i.hasNext()){
		Foo foo = i.next();
		...
	}

总结：exceptions are, as their name implies, to be used only for exceptional conditions; a well-designed API must not force its clients to use exceptions for ordinary control flow.
