Foreach loop in C++ equivalent of C#

Question

How would I convert this code to C++?

string[] strarr = {\"ram\",\"mohan\",\"sita\"};    
foreach(string str in strarr) {
  listbox.items.add(str);
}
         


        

Answer 1

ranged based for:

std::array<std::string, 3> strarr = {"ram", "mohan", "sita"};
for(const std::string& str : strarr) {
  listbox.items.add(str);
}

pre c++11

std::string strarr[] = {"ram", "mohan", "sita"};
for(int i = 0; i < 3; ++i) {
  listbox.items.add(strarr[i]);
}

or

std::string strarr[] = {"ram", "mohan", "sita"};
std::vector<std::string> strvec(strarr, strarr + 3);
std::vector<std::string>::iterator itr = strvec.begin();
while(itr != strvec.end()) {
  listbox.items.add(*itr);
  ++itr;
}

Using Boost:

boost::array<std::string, 3> strarr = {"ram", "mohan", "sita"};
BOOST_FOREACH(std::string & str, strarr) {
  listbox.items.add(str);
}

Answer 2

string[] strarr = {"ram","mohan","sita"};

#include <string>
std::string strarr = { "ram", "mohan", "sita" };

or

const char* strarr[] = { "ram", "mohan", "sita" };

foreach(string str in strarr) { listbox.items.add(str); }

for (int i = 0; i < sizeof strarr / sizeof *strarr; ++i)
    listbox.items.add(strarr[i]);

Note: you can also put the strings into a std::vector rather than an array:

std::vector<std::string> strvec;
strvec.push_back("ram");
strvec.push_back("mohan");
strvec.push_back("sita");

for (std::vector<std::string>::const_iterator i = strvec.begin(); i != strvec.end(); ++i)
    listbox.items.add(*i);

Answer 3

If you have an array you can simply use a for loop. (I'm sorry, but I'm not going to type out the code for a for loop for you.)

Answer 4

Using boost is the best option as it helps you to provide a neat and concise code, but if you want to stick to STL

void listbox_add(const char* item, ListBox &lb)
{
    lb.add(item);
}

int foo()
{
    const char* starr[] = {"ram", "mohan", "sita"};
    ListBox listBox;
    std::for_each(starr,
                  starr + sizeof(starr)/sizeof(char*),
                  std::bind2nd(std::ptr_fun(&listbox_add), listBox));

}

Boost has a macro that will do this for you.
