Loop through and print each element in a collection in order.

Use your language's "for each" loop if it has one, otherwise iterate through the collection in order with some other loop.

Aikido

Aikido's foreach loop allows iteration through multiple value types.

strings

var str = "hello world"
foreach ch str {    // you can also use an optional 'in'
    println (ch)   // one character at a time
}

vectors

var vec = [1,2,3,4]
foreach v vec {    // you can also use an optional 'in'
    println (v)
}

maps

var cities = {"San Ramon": 50000, "Walnut Creek": 70000, "San Francisco": 700000}   // map literal
foreach city cities {
    println (city.first + " has population " + city.second)
}

integers

foreach i 100 {
    println (i)    // prints values 0..99
}

foreach i 10..20 {
    println (i)     // prints values 10..20
}

var a = 20
var b = 10
foreach i a..b {
    println (i)   // prints values from a to b (20..10)
}

Objects

Aikido allows definition of a foreach operator for an object. In this example we define a single linked list and a foreach operator to iterate through it

class List {
    class Element (public data) {
        public var next = null
    }
    var start = null

    public function insert (data) {
        var element = new Element (data)
        element.next = start
        start = element
    }

    public operator foreach (var iter) {
        if (typeof(iter) == "none") {   // first iteration
            iter = start
            return iter.data
        } elif (iter.next == null) {    // check for last iteration
            iter = none
        } else {
            iter = iter.next      // somewhere in the middle
            return iter.data
        }
    }

}

var list = new List()
list.insert (1)
list.insert (2)
list.insert (4)

foreach n list {
    println (n)
}

Coroutines

Aikido supports coroutines. The foreach operator may be used to iterate thorough the generated values.

// coroutine to generate the squares of a sequence of numbers
function squares (start, end) {
    for (var i = start ; i < end ; i++) {
        yield i*i
    }
}

var start = 10
var end = 20

foreach s squares (start, end) {
    println (s)
}

Files

If you open a file you can iterate through all the lines

var s = openin ("input.txt")
foreach line s {
    print (line)
}

Enumerations

enum Color { 
   RED, GREEN, BLUE
}

foreach color Color {
    println (color)
}

Aime

# iterate over a list of integers
integer i, v;

for (i, v in list(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 18)) {
}

ALGOL 68

Works with: ALGOL 68 version Standard - no extensions to language used

Works with: ALGOL 68G version Any - tested with release mk15-0.8b.fc9.i386

Works with: ELLA ALGOL 68 version Any (with appropriate job cards) - tested with release 1.8.8d.fc9.i386

[]UNION(STRING, INT, PROC(REF FILE)VOID) collection = ("Mary","Had",1,"little","lamb.",new line);

FOR index FROM LWB collection TO UPB collection DO
  print((collection[index]," "))
OD

Output:

Mary Had          +1 little lamb.

ALGOL 68S has a reserved word FOREACH that is used to break arrays in to portions, and process in parallel.

ALGOL 68RS and Algol68toc have a FORALL loop, the following is equivalent to the example above:

FORALL index IN collection DO
  print((collection[index]," "))
OD

AWK

The for (element_index in array) can be used, but it does not give elements' indexes in the order inside the array (AWK indexes in array are indeed more like hashes).

BEGIN {
  split("Mary had a little lamb", strs, " ")
  for(el in strs) {
    print strs[el]
  }
}

If elements must be returned in some order, keys must be generated in that order. In the example above the array is filled through the split function, which uses indexes from 1. So to iterate over the array's elements in the right order, a normal loop can be used:

BEGIN {
  n = split("Mary had a little lamb", strs, " ")
  for(i=1; i <= n; i++) {
    print strs[i]
  }
}

Note that in awk, foreach loops can only be performed against an associative container. It is not possible to loop against an explicit list, so the following will not work:

# This will not work
BEGIN {
  for (el in "apples","bananas","cherries") {
    print "I like " el
  }
}

BASIC

BaCon

BaCon includes support for delimited strings. Delimited strings form a type of collection. Along with this support is a for in loop. Not quite a for each but pretty close.

OPTION COLLAPSE TRUE
FOR x$ IN "Hello cruel world"
    PRINT x$
NEXT

FOR y$ IN "1,2,\"3,4\",5" STEP ","
    PRINT y$
NEXT

Output:

prompt$ bacon -q forin.bac >/dev/null
prompt$ ./forin
Hello
cruel
world
1
2
"3,4"
5

The OPTION COLLAPSE TRUE statements prevents empty results when multiple delimiters appear together. The default delimiter is space, and can be changed with OPTION DELIM x where x is a static string literal.

BASIC256

BASIC-256 does not have a FOR EACH type statement. Use a FOR loop to iterate through an array by index.

DIM collection$(1)
collection$ = { "The", "quick", "brown", "fox", "jumps", "over", "the", "lazy", "dog." }

FOR i = 0 TO collection$[?]-1
   PRINT collection$[i]+ " ";
NEXT i
PRINT

Output:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

      \               "over", "the", "lazy", "dog."
      
      FOR index% = 0 TO DIM(collection$(), 1)
        PRINT collection$(index%) " ";
      NEXT
      PRINT

Commodore BASIC

Commodore BASIC too does not have a FOR-EACH construct. FOR loop is used to iterate through a string array by index. READ-DATA is used to fill up the string array

10 DIM A$(9) :REM DECLARE STRING ARRAY
20 REM *** FILL ARRAY WITH WORDS ***
30 FOR I = 0 TO 8
40 READ A$(I)
50 NEXT
60 REM *** PRINT ARRAY CONTENTS ***
70 FOR I = 0 TO 8
80 PRINT A$(I)" ";
90 NEXT
100 END
1000 DATA THE, QUICK, BROWN, FOX, JUMPS, OVER, THE, LAZY, DOG.

The most natural way is to use a csv list with a sentinel value.

in$      ="Not,Hardly,Just,Adequately,Quite,Really,Very,Fantastically,xyzzy"
element$ =""
i =1    '   used to point to successive elements

do
    element$ =word$( in$, i, ",")
    if element$ ="xyzzy" then exit do
    print element$; " good!"

Batch File

The FOR command can imitate the "Foreach Loop". The whitespace and the comma (,) are the default delimiters.

Direct usage:

@echo off
for %%A in (This is a sample collection) do (
     echo %%A
)

Using a Collection Variable:

@echo off
set "collection=This is a sample collection"
for %%A in (%collection%) do (
     echo %%A
)

They have the Same Output:

This
is
a
sample
collection

bc

There is no "for each"-loop in bc. For accessing each element of an array (the only collection-like type) one uses a straightforward for-loop.

a[0] = .123
a[1] = 234
a[3] = 95.6
for (i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    a[i]
}

Bracmat

Bracmat has a more or less traditional 'while' loop (whl'expression) which was introduced rather late in the history of Bracmat. Before that, tail recursion was a way to repeat something. But let us make a list first:

  ( list
  =   Afrikaans
      Ελληνικά
      עברית
      മലയാളം
      ئۇيغۇرچە
  )

The 'while' solution. Use an auxiliary variable L that gets its head chopped off until nothing is left:

  !list:?L
& whl'(!L:%?language ?L&out$!language)

The tail-recursive solution. When the auxiliary variable is reduced to nothing, the loop fails. By adding the ~ flag to the initial invocation, failure is turned into success. This solution benefits from tail recursion optimization.

  !list:?L
& ( loop
  =   !L:%?language ?L
    & out$!language
    & !loop
  )
& ~!loop

A completely different way of iteration is by using a pattern that matches an element in the list, does something useful as a side effect and then fails, forcing bracmat to backtrack and try the next element in the list. The @ flag matches at most one element. The % flag matches at least one element. Together they ensure that exactly one language name is assigned to the variable language. After all elements have been done, control is passed to the rhs of the | operator.

  (   !list
    : ? (%@?language&out$!language&~) ?
  | 
  )

C

C does not really have a native 'container' type, nor does it have a 'for each' type statement. The following shows how to loop through an array and print each element.

#include <stdio.h>
...

const char *list[] = {"Red","Green","Blue","Black","White"};
#define LIST_SIZE (sizeof(list)/sizeof(list[0]))

int ix;
for(ix=0; ix<LIST_SIZE; ix++) {
   printf("%s\n", list[ix]);
}

The C language does, however, have a number of standard data structures that can be thought of as collections, and foreach can easily be made with a macro.

C string as a collection of char

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
/* foreach macro for using a string as a collection of char */
#define foreach( ptrvar , strvar ) char* ptrvar; for( ptrvar=strvar ; (*ptrvar) != '\0' ; *ptrvar++)

int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
char* s1="abcdefg";
char* s2="123456789";
foreach( p1 , s1 ) {
 printf("loop 1 %c\n",*p1);
}
foreach( p2 , s2 ){
 printf("loop 2 %c\n",*p2);
}
exit(0);
return(0);
}

C int array as a collection of int (array size known at compile-time)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
/* foreach macro viewing an array of int values as a collection of int values */
#define foreach( intpvar , intary ) int* intpvar; for( intpvar=intary; intpvar < (intary+(sizeof(intary)/sizeof(intary[0]))) ; intpvar++)
int a1[]={ 1 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 8 };
int a2[]={ 3 , 1 , 4 , 1, 5, 9 };
foreach( p1 , a1 ) {
 printf("loop 1 %d\n",*p1);
}
foreach( p2 , a2 ){
 printf("loop 2 %d\n",*p2);
}
exit(0);
return(0);
}

Most general: string or array as collection (collection size known at run-time)

Note: idxtype can be removed and typeof(col[0]) can be used in it's place with GCC

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc,char* argv[]){
#define foreach( idxtype , idxpvar , col , colsiz ) idxtype* idxpvar; for( idxpvar=col ; idxpvar < (col+(colsiz)) ; idxpvar++)
#define arraylen( ary ) ( sizeof(ary)/sizeof(ary[0]) )
char* c1="collection";
int c2[]={ 3 , 1 , 4 , 1, 5, 9 };
double* c3;
int c3len=4;
c3=(double*)calloc(c3len,sizeof(double)); 
c3[0]=1.2;c3[1]=3.4;c3[2]=5.6;c3[3]=7.8;  
foreach( char,p1   , c1, strlen(c1) ) {
 printf("loop 1 : %c\n",*p1);
}
foreach( int,p2    , c2, arraylen(c2) ){
 printf("loop 2 : %d\n",*p2);
}
foreach( double,p3 , c3, c3len ){
 printf("loop 3 : %3.1lf\n",*p3);
}
exit(0);
return(0);
}

C#

string[] things = {"Apple", "Banana", "Coconut"};

foreach (string thing in things)
{
    Console.WriteLine(thing);
}

C++

C++03 did not have a "for each" loop. The following is a generic loop which works with any standard container except for built-in arrays. The code snippet below assumes that the container type in question is typedef'd to container_type and the actual container object is named container.

for (container_type::iterator i = container.begin(); i != container.end(); ++i)
{
  std::cout << *i << "\n";
}

However the idiomatic way to output a container would be

std::copy(container.begin(), container.end(),
          std::ostream_iterator<container_type::value_type>(std::cout, "\n"));

There's also an algorithm named for_each. However, you need a function or function object to use it, e.g.

void print_element(container_type::value_type const& v)
{
  std::cout << v << "\n";
}

...
  std::for_each(container.begin(), container.end(), print_element);

Works with: C++11

for (auto element: container)
{
  std::cout << element << "\n";
}

Here container is the container variable, element is the loop variable (initialized with each container element in turn), and auto means that the compiler should determine the correct type of that variable automatically. If the type is expensive to copy, a const reference can be used instead:

for (auto const& element: container)
{
  std::cout << element << "\n";
}

Of course the container elements can also be changed by using a non-const reference (provided the container isn't itself constant):

for (auto&& element: container) //use a 'universal reference'
{
  element += 42;
}

for f in food do writeln(f);

Clojure

(doseq [item collection] (println item))

CLU

As in Python (which no doubt got the idea from CLU), every for loop in CLU is really a foreach, and iterating over a range of numbers is done by using an iterator (e.g. int$from_to).

Unlike Python, the for loop only accepts iterators, and collections are not automatically cast into iterators. To loop over the elements of an array, one needs to explicitly use the elements iterator.

start_up = proc ()
    po: stream := stream$primary_output()
    
    words: array[string] := array[string]$
        ["enemy", "lasagna", "robust", "below", "wax"]
    
    for word: string in array[string]$elements(words) do
        stream$putl(po, word)
    end
end start_up

Common Lisp

(loop for i in list do (print i))

or

(map nil #'print list)

or

(dolist (x the-list) (print x))

or

(use-package :iterate)

Using DO

(let ((the-list '(1 7 "foo" 1 4)))	; Set the-list as the list
  (do ((i the-list (rest i)))		; Initialize to the-list and set to rest on every loop
      ((null i))			; Break condition

D

This works if collection is a string/array/associative array, or if implements an appropriate opApply function, or if it has the basic Range methods.

import std.stdio: writeln;

void main() {
    auto collection1 = "ABC";
    foreach (element; collection1) 
        writeln(element);

    auto collection2 = [1, 2, 3];
    foreach (element; collection1) 
        writeln(element);

    auto collection3 = [1:10, 2:20, 3:30];
    foreach (element; collection3) 
        writeln(element);

    foreach (key, value; collection3)
        writeln(key, " ", value);        
}

Output:

Dao

items = { 1, 2, 3 }
for( item in items ) io.writeln( item )

Delphi

for..in loops were added in Delphi 2005.

Supports arrays (single, multidimensional, and dynamic), sets, strings, collections and any class or interface that implements GetEnumerator().

program LoopForEach;

  for s in 'Hello' do
    Writeln(s);
end.

Output:

for i in [1,2,3] {
   print(i)
}

This code would work for any type that has a method "iter" (returning an iterator). In fact a runtime environment silently calls this method for you here and creates an iterator out of an array. The code above is absolutely identical to:

for i in [1,2,3].Iterate() {
   print(i)
}

This would perfectly work with any custom iterator as well:

func myCollection() {
    yield 1
    yield 2
    yield 3
}

for i in myCollection() {
   print(i)
}

All three code samples would output:

1
2
3

E

for e in theCollection {
    println(e)
}

In E, the for ... in ... loop is also used for iterating over numeric ranges; see Loop/For#E.

Efene

Any data structure can be printed as a whole, preformated:

io.format("~p~n", [Collection])

However, to iterate over each element of a list, Efene uses lists.map/2, except in the case of IO where lists.foreach/2 has to be used as the evaluation order is defined to be the same as the order of the elements in the list.

lists.foreach(fn (X) { io.format("~p~n", [X]) }, Collection)

Eiffel

Works with: EiffelStudio version 6.6 beta (with provisional loop syntax)

The iteration (foreach) form of the Eiffel loop construct is introduced by the keyword across.

            across my_list as ic loop print (ic.item) end

The local entity ic is an instance of the library class ITERATION_CURSOR. The cursor's feature item provides access to each structure element. Descendants of class ITERATION_CURSOR can be created to handle specialized iteration algorithms. The types of objects that can be iterated across (my_list in the example) are based on classes that inherit from the library class ITERABLE

Boolean expression variant

The iteration form of the Eiffel loop can also be used as a boolean expression when the keyword loop is replaced by either all (effecting universal quantification) or some (effecting existential quantification).

This iteration is a boolean expression which is true if all items in my_list have counts greater than three:

            across my_list as ic all ic.item.count > 3 end

Whereas, the following is true if at least one item has a count greater than three:

            across my_list as ic some ic.item.count > 3 end

Erlang

Any data structure can be printed as a whole, preformated:

io:format("~p~n",[Collection]).

However, to iterate over each element of a list, Erlang uses lists:map/2, except in the case of IO where lists:foreach/2 has to be used as the evaluation order is defined to be the same as the order of the elements in the list.

lists:foreach(fun(X) -> io:format("~p~n",[X]) end, Collection).

FOREACH

The thing about extensible languages is if you need FOREACH, you can have FOREACH. The Forth ' operator returns the "execution token" (XT) of a Forth word. An XT can be run with EXECUTE. If we apply an appropriate XT to all the elements of an array we have it.

: FOREACH  ( array size XT --)
        >R                 \ save execution token on return stack
        CELLS BOUNDS       \ convert addr,len -> last,first addresses
        BEGIN
           2DUP >          \ test addresses
        WHILE ( last>first )
           DUP R@ EXECUTE  \ apply the execution token to the address
           CELL+           \ move first to the next memory cell
        REPEAT
        R> DROP            \ clean return stack

Frink

Frink's for loop is actually a "for each" loop which can iterate over built-in collection types including arrays, sets, dictionaries, enumerating expressions, and Java types such as Map, Iterator, Enumeration, etc.

array = [1, 2, 3, 5, 7]
for n = array
   println[n]

Go

range works with all of the built-in container-types. With one variable (i), it gives you the key/index of every item. With two variables (i, x), it gives you both the key/index and value/item. For channels, only the single-variable variant is allowed.

func printAll(values []int) {
   for i, x := range values {
      fmt.Printf("Item %d = %d\n", i, x)
   }
}

Groovy

"for" loop:

def beatles = ["John", "Paul", "George", "Ringo"]

for(name in beatles) {
    println name
}

"each()" method:
Though technically not a loop, most Groovy programmers would use the somewhat more terse "each()" method on the list itself in preference to the "for" loop construct.

beatles.each {
    println it
}

Output (same for either):

Java

Works with: Java version 1.5+

Iterable<Type> collect;
...
for(Type i:collect){
   System.out.println(i);
}

This works for any array type as well as any type that implements the Iterable interface (including all Collections).

Works with: Java version 1.8+

Iterable collect;
...
collect.forEach(o -> System.out.println(o));

This works with any Iterable, but not with arrays.

JavaScript

For arrays in ES5, we can use Array.forEach():

"alpha beta gamma delta".split(" ").forEach(function (x) {
    console.log(x);
});

though it will probably be more natural – dispensing with side-effects, and allowing for easier composition of nested functions – to simply use Array.map(),

console.log("alpha beta gamma delta".split(" ").map(function (x) {
    return x.toUpperCase(x);
}).join("\n"));

or, more flexibly, and with greater generality, obtain an accumulating fold from Array.reduce()

console.log("alpha beta gamma delta".split(" ").reduce(function (a, x, i, lst) {
    return lst.length - i + ". " + x + "\n" + a;
}, ""));

More generally, the following works for any object, including an array. It iterates over the keys of an object.

for (var a in o) {
    print(o[a]);
}

However, it has the often unwanted feature that it lists inherited properties and methods of objects as well as the ones directly set on the object -- consider whether to filter out such properties inside the loop, for example:

for (var a in o) {
    if (o.hasOwnProperty(a)) {
        print(o[a]);
    }
}

Works with: JavaScript version 1.6

Deprecated

There is also a for each in construct that iterates over the values of an object:

h = {"one":1, "two":2, "three":3}
for (x in h) print(x);
for each (y in h) print(y);

Works with: ECMAScript version 6th edition

There is also a for of construct that iterates over the values of an object:

h = {"one":1, "two":2, "three":3}
for (x in h) print(x);
for (y of h) print(y);

jq

Iterables:

In this section, the array defined by "example" is used as an example:

def example: [1,2];

jq has two types of iterables -- JSON arrays and JSON objects. In both cases, the ".[]" filter may be used to iterate through the values, it being understand that for objects, the "values" are the values associated with the keys:

example | .[]
# or equivalently: example[]

{"a":1, "b":2} | .[]
# or equivalently: {"a":1, "b":2}[]

In both cases, the output is the stream consisting of the values 1 followed by 2.

Sometimes it is necessary to use an alternative to ".[]". For example, one might want to generate an index along with the array elements. In such cases, the "range(m;n)" generator, which performs a similar role to C's "for(i=m; i<n; i++)", can be used for array. Here is how range/2 would be used to perform the task for an array:

example | . as $a | range(0; length) | $a[.]

For JSON objects, the corresponding technique involves using keys, e.g.

 {"a":1, "b":2} | . as $o | keys | map( [., $o[.]] )

produces:

[["a",1],["b",2]]

Strings:

To convert the constituent characters (or technically, codepoints) of a string into a stream of values, there are two techniques illustrated by these examples:

"abc" | . as $s | range(0;length) | $s[.:.+1]

"abc" | explode | map( [.]|implode) | .[]

In both cases, the result is the stream of values: "a", "b", "c".

Jsish

Jsi supports for of for looping over element of an array.

for (str of "alpha beta gamma delta".split(' ')) { puts(str); }

Output:

alpha
beta
gamma
delta

Julia

Translation of: Python

for i in collection
   println(i)
end

The Julia for statement is always a "foreach", and the built-in start:end or start:step:end "range" syntax can be used for iteration over arithmetic sequences. Many Julia objects support iteration: arrays and tuples iterate over each item, strings iterate over each character, dictionaries iterate over (key,value) pairs, numeric scalars provide a length-1 iteration over their value, and so on.

Lua

Lua has 2 built-in iterators over tables.

pairs() iterates over all entries in a table, but in no particular order:

t={monday=1, tuesday=2, wednesday=3, thursday=4, friday=5, saturday=6, sunday=0, [7]="fooday"}
for key, value in pairs(t) do                       
  print(value, key)
end

Output:

0	sunday
fooday	7
2	tuesday
3	wednesday
5	friday
4	thursday
6	saturday
1	monday

ipairs() iterates over table entries with positive integer keys, and is used to iterate over lists in order.

l={'monday', 'tuesday', 'wednesday', 'thursday', 'friday', 'saturday', 'sunday', not_a_number='fooday', [0]='today', [-1]='yesterday' }
for key, value in ipairs(l) do                                                                         
  print(key, value)
end

Output:

1	monday
2	tuesday
3	wednesday
4	thursday
5	friday
6	saturday
7	sunday

Note that ipairs() ignores non-numeric and non-positive integer keys.

M2000 Interpreter

Iterators we have for Arrays, Inventories and Stacks (containers). Each(object Start to End), or Each(object 1 to -1) or Each(Object, 1,-1). We can use -2 for second from end item. We can use step inside while iterator {} using Iterator=Each(object, new_start, end_item). We can read cursor using ^. So Print k^, k2^, k1^ return positions (from 0 for inventories). We can use more than one iterators for an object.

Module Checkit {
      \\ Inventories may have keys or keys/values
      \\ here keys are values too
      Inventory Alfa="Apple", "Banana", "Coconut"

The list can be generated in place by any suitable macro or another loop... e.g. let us suppose we have things like a[n] defined (with maximum n being 10). Then

for x = for i = 1 upto 9: a[i], endfor, a[10]: show x; endfor
end

works more like a foreach; we could make a macro to hide the strangeness of such a code.

min

Works with: min version 0.19.3

MiniScript

for i in collection
   print i
end

The MiniScript for statement is always a "foreach", and the standard range intrinsic can be used for iteration over arithmetic sequences. All MiniScript collection types support iteration: lists iterate over each item, strings iterate over each character, and maps/objects iterate over (key,value) pairs.

MOO

things = {"Apple", "Banana", "Coconut"};
 
for thing in (things)
    player:tell(thing);

Nanoquery

Like Python, Nanoquery supports for...in syntax for list types and strings.

for item in collection
    println item
end

Some examples:

for n in {1,3,5,7,9}
	print n + " "
end
println

for char in "test string"
	print char
end
println

Output:

1 3 5 7 9 
test string

Nemerle

This works on anything which implements the IEnumerable interface.

def things = ["Apple", "Banana", "Coconut"];

foreach (thing in things) WriteLine(thing.ToLower());
foreach (i in [5, 10 .. 100]) Write($"$i\t");

Perl

foreach my $i (@collection) {
   print "$i\n";
}

The keyword for can be used instead of foreach. If a loop variable (here $i) is not given, then $_ is used.

A more compact notation using perl statement modifier:

print "$_\n"  foreach @collection

In perl, it is possible to loop against an explicit list, so there is no need to define a container:

foreach $l ( "apples", "bananas", "cherries" ) {
  print "I like $l\n";
}

Plain English

To run:
Start up.
Create a list.
Write each entry in the list to the console.
Destroy the list.
Wait for the escape key.
Shut down.

An entry is a thing with a number.

A list is some entries.

To add a number to a list:
Allocate memory for an entry.
Put the number into the entry's number.
Append the entry to the list.

To create a list:
Add 1 to the list.
Add 2 to the list.
Add 3 to the list.
Add 6 to the list.
Add 7 to the list.
Add 9 to the list.

To write an entry to the console:
Convert the entry's number to a string.
Write the string to the console.

To write each entry in a list to the console:
Get an entry from the list.
Loop.
If the entry is nil, exit.
Write the entry to the console.
Put the entry's next into the entry.
Repeat.

Output:

Iteration over list:

lvars el, lst = [1 2 3 4 foo bar];
for el in lst do

PostScript

The forall operator performs a loop over a collection (array, string or dictionary). Strings and arrays can be treated very much the same:

[1 5 3 2] { = } forall
(abc) { = } forall

but dictionaries take a little more work since a key/value pair is pushed on the stack in each iteration:

<</a 25 /b 42>> {
  exch (Key: ) print
  =
  (Value: ) print
  =
} forall

Python

for i in collection:
   print i

Note: The Python for statement is always a "foreach" ... and the range() and xrange() built-in functions are used to generate lists of indexes over which it will iterate as necessary. The majority of Python objects support iteration. Lists and tuples iterate over each item, strings iterate over each character, dictionaries iterate over keys, files iterate over lines, and so on.

For example:

lines = words = characters = 0
f = open('somefile','r')
for eachline in f:
    lines += 1
    for eachword in eachline.split():
        words += 1
        for eachchar in eachword:
            characters += 1

print lines, words, characters

Whether for loops over the elements of the collection in order depends on the collection having an inherent order or not. Elements of strings (i.e. characters), tuples and lists, for example, are ordered but the order of elements in dictionaries and sets is not defined.

One can loop over the key/value pairs of a dictionary in alphabetic or numeric key order by sorting the sequence of keys, provided that the keys are all of comparable types. In Python 3.x a sequence of mixed numeric and string elements is not sortable (at least not with the default invocation of sorted()), whereas in Python 2.x numeric types are sorted according to their string representation by default:

d = {3: "Earth", 1: "Mercury", 4: "Mars", 2: "Venus"}
for k in sorted(d):
    print("%i: %s" % (k, d[k]))

d = {"London": "United Kingdom", "Berlin": "Germany", "Rome": "Italy", "Paris": "France"}
for k in sorted(d):
    print("%s: %s" % (k, d[k]))

Works with: Python version 2.x

d = {"fortytwo": 42, 3.14159: "pi", 23: "twentythree", "zero": 0, 13: "thirteen"}
for k in sorted(d):
    print("%s: %s" % (k, d[k]))

Raku

(formerly Perl 6)

Works with: Rakudo version 2015.10-40

say $_ for @collection;

Raku leaves off the each from foreach, leaving us with for instead. The variable $_ refers to the current element, unless you assign a name to it using ->.

for @collection -> $currentElement { say $currentElement; }

Raku will do it's best to put the topic at the right spot.

.say for @collection;
for @collection { .say };

Iteration can also be done with hyperoperators. In this case it's a candidate for autothreading and as such, execution order may vary. The resulting list will be in order.

@collection>>.say;
@collection>>.=&infix:<+>(2); # increment each element by 2

Rust

Rust's for-loop already is a foreach-loop.

let collection = vec![1,2,3,4,5];
for elem in collection {
    println!("{}", elem);
}

Do note that Rust moves values by default and doesn't copy them. A vector would be unusable after looping over it like above. To preserve it, borrow it or use an Iter, to mutate values do a mutable borrow or create an IterMut. To get an immutable reference omit the mut-part.

let mut collection = vec![1,2,3,4,5];
for mut_ref in &mut collection {
// alternatively:
// for mut_ref in collection.iter_mut() {
    *mut_ref *= 2;
    println!("{}", *mut_ref);
}

// immutable borrow
for immut_ref in &collection {
// alternatively:
// for immut_ref in collection.iter() {
    println!("{}", *immut_ref);
}

Since Rust 1.21 foreach can be used explicitly executing a closure on each element.

let collection = vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
collection.iter().for_each(|elem| println!("{}", elem));

UNIX Shell

To iterate any single list, you use a for loop.

Works with: Bourne Shell

for file in *.sh; do
  echo "filename is $file"
done

If the list is in a shell parameter (like PATH), you adjust IFS.

Works with: Bourne Shell

PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin

oldifs=$IFS
IFS=:
for dir in $PATH; do
  echo search $dir
done
IFS=$oldifs

Some shells have real arrays. The for loop can also iterate these.

Works with: Bash

collection=("first" "second" "third" "fourth" "something else")
for x in "${collection[@]}"; do
  echo "$x"
done

Works with: pdksh version 5.2.14

set -A collection "first" "second" "third" "fourth" "something else"
for x in "${collection[@]}"; do

XSLT

For-each is the only iteration construct that is built into XSLT. All other iteration is either implied by applying a template to all members matching an XPath expression, or built from recursive application of a template. You have access to something like a loop counter with the one-based "position()" function.

<fo:block font-weight="bold">Adults:</fo:block>
<xsl:for-each select="person[@age &gt;= 21]">
  <fo:block><xsl:value-of select="position()"/>. <xsl:value-of select="@name"/></fo:block>
