Identifying last loop when using for each

Question

I want to do something different with the last loop iteration when performing \'foreach\' on an object. I\'m using Ruby but the same goes for C#, Java etc.

Answer 1

Ruby also has each_index method:

list = ['A','B','C']
list.each_index{|i|
  if i < list.size - 1
    puts "Looping:"+list[i]
  else
    puts "Last one:"+list[i]
}

EDIT:

Or using each (corrected TomatoGG and Kirschstein solution):

list = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'A']
list.each { |i|
   if (i.object_id != list.last.object_id)
      puts "Looping:#{i}"
   else
      puts "Last one:#{i}"
   end
}

Looping:A
Looping:B
Looping:C
Last one:A

Or

list = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'A']
list.each {|i| 
  i.object_id != list.last.object_id ? puts "Looping:#{i}" : puts "Last one:#{i}"       
}
