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

Would it be a viable solution for your case to just take the first/last elements out of your array before doing the "general" each run?

Like this:

list = ['A','B','C','D']
first = list.shift
last = list.pop

puts "First one: #{first}"
list.each{|i|
  puts "Looping: "+i
}
puts "Last one: #{last}"
