For Each - why i cant do this?

[matt271]

why i cant do this??

c++:

#include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; // why cant i do this? template <class T> void forEath(T v) {     T::iterator i;     for (i = v.begin(); i != v.end(); i++)         cout << *i << endl; } // i thought maybe this, but still no? template <class T, N> void forEath(T<N> v) {     T<N>::iterator i;     for (i = v.begin(); i != v.end(); i++)         cout << *i << endl; } int main() {     vector<int> v;     v.push_back(10);     v.push_back(50);     v.push_back(1);     v.push_back(2);     v.push_back(5);         // this works     vector<int>::iterator i;     for (i = v.begin(); i != v.end(); i++) {         cout << *i << endl;     }         // here i try to call the first one     forEath(v);         // here i try to call the next one     forEath<vector<int>>(v);             return 0; }

for the first forEach put a typename before T::iterator and it should work. check out this link http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~driscoll/typename.html

very cool. ty for that link very helpful

reading more and playing around i have come up with this:

c++:

#include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std; template <typename T, typename F> void forEath(T v, F f) {     //typename T::iterator i;     for (auto i = v.begin(); i != v.end(); i++) {         f(*i);     } } int main() {     vector<int> v;     v.push_back(10);     v.push_back(11);     v.push_back(12);     v.push_back(13);         forEath(v, [](int& i)->void{         cout << i << endl;     });     return 0; }

compile with -std=c++0x flag

i think its cool to create a better "for each" in c++0x. i would like to define some macros and stuff to make it even cleaner. also use "where" to make it safer. anybody want to help?

my overall goal is to be able to code in c++ (or c++0x) using the shortcuts java has spoiled me with.

i would like it to look more like this

c++:

for_each (int i, v) {     cout << i << endl; }

or even

c++:

for_each (const T& i, v) {     cout << i << endl; }

to be like javas

Java:

for (int i : v) {     System.out.println(i); }

Better to learn to use C++ as intended rather than try to make it Java. It's a different style that you should learn to use effectively (loving it is a bit much).

good point
