C++中std::for_each的使用

The std::for_each() algorithm allows us to iterate over a given range of elements and perform operations over them.

Whenever you are iterating over the elements in a array or in a container and performing some different operations over them like accessing, modifying etc. Although you can achieve the same by typing complete for loop but it save you time and number of lines of code, also it reduces the chance of some bugs.

std::for_each：Applies a specified function object to each element in a forward order within a range and returns the function object.

for_each loop applies a function to the range of elements of a collection. In other words each element from the collection will be passed to the function as a parameter and function will be executed the number of times elements present in a collection.

The algorithm std::for_each() applies a function to all elements in a collection. This algorithm takes three arguments: the first two provide the iterators that describe the sequence to be evaluated, and the third is a one-argument function. The algorithm std::for_each() applies the function to each value of the sequence, passing the value as an argument.

for_each用于逐个遍历容器元素，它对迭代器区间[first，last)所指的每一个元素，执行由单参数函数对象f所定义的操作。它是for循环的一种替代方案。
