Answer / aslam
Iterator has an additional method remove() and also
iterator checks for the concurrent modifications which will
be useful in multi threaded applications.
while Enumerator is much faster for sequential
access over collection elements, because it doesnot have
the additional overhead of checking concurrent modifications
