What's the purpose of the foreach syntax in Java?

To exclusively iterate over elements of a Map
To simplify the syntax of iterating over a collection or array
To declare new types of collections
To replace all loops in Java for better performance

The correct answer is: To simplify the syntax of iterating over a collection or array

The purpose of the foreach syntax in Java is to simplify the syntax of iterating over a collection or array. Option A is incorrect because it is specifically for iterating over elements of a Map, not just any collection or array. Option C is incorrect because it is not used to declare new types of collections, rather it is used for accessing the elements in existing collections. Option D is incorrect because it is not used to replace all loops in Java, but rather it is just a more concise and readable way to loop through a collection or array.
