for_each (STL Samples)

Illustrates how to use the for_each Standard Template Library (STL) function in Visual C++.

template<class InputIterator, class Function> inline
   Function for_each(
      InputIterator First,
      InputIterator Last,
      Function F
   )

Remarks

Hinweis

The class/parameter names in the prototype do not match the version in the header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.

The for_each algorithm calls Function F for each element in the range [First, Last) and returns the input parameter F. This function does not modify any elements in the sequence.

Example

// foreach.cpp
// compile with: /EHsc
//
// Functions:
//   for_each  - Calls function F for every element in a range.
//
//   begin     - Returns an iterator that points to the first element
//               in a sequence.
//
//   end       - Returns an iterator that points one past the end of
//               a sequence.
