Just had to write an old-skool for loop. Index...termination condition...whole works. I feel dirty.

Bit embarrassing as someone saw me writing it, thought I was a hacker and informed the authorities. Spent the last hour being waterboarded.

We had a big laugh about it when they realized I was just fixing bugs in a legacy app.

National Security. Hilarious.

@Pogromist only when I don't need to know the index

Otherwise for() it is.

@Pogromist in c++ foreach is strange. It's better to use for over a vector

@electrineer
for (auto item : iterator)
is better than
for (vector<type>::iterator ptr = vec.begin(); I < vec.end(); ptr++)

@Pogromist yep, but there's also for_each which is weird

@electrineer It's mostly a reflection on how much I now using LINQ, functional array methods, etc.

Hacking thing was just there for entertainment value.

I had to ask an interviewer if you can break out of a for loop. I do t think I’ve written one in five years.
