foreach?
« on: Apr 3rd, 2004, 12:42am »

Java doesn't seem to have a 'foreach' found in many other languages - perhaps Processing could add one?
 
There are several free Java implementations online, but I wouldn't know where to begin using one in Processing.

yeah, the java 1.5 spec finally has syntax for a foreach loop, so we'd like to get that in there someday (even to compile to 1.1 with it). we had hoped the guy doing the preprocessor/compiler work was gonna be able to get to it, but he ran out of time (the preproc stuff turned out to be a worse mess than hoped...) but hopefully we'll get a chance to integrate it sometime soon.
 
i don't know how many times i've written the following in the past few months:
for (int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
  Entry e = entries[i];  
}
and would love to avoid it.
