How can I detect the last iteration in a loop over std::map?

Question

I\'m trying to figure out the best way to determine whether I\'m in the last iteration of a loop over a map in order to do something like the following:

for          


        

Answer 1

A simple, yet effective, approach:

  size_t items_remaining = someMap.size();

  for (iter = someMap.begin(); iter != someMap.end(); iter++) {
    bool last_iteration = items_remaining-- == 1;
  }
