How do I Iterate over a vector of C++ strings? [closed]

Question

How do I iterate over this C++ vector?

vector<string> features = {"X1", "X2", "X3", "X4"};

Answer 1

Try this:

for(vector<string>::const_iterator i = features.begin(); i != features.end(); ++i) {     // process i     cout << *i << " "; // this will print all the contents of *features* } 

If you are using C++11, then this is legal too:

for(auto i : features) {     // process i     cout << i << " "; // this will print all the contents of *features* }  

Answer 2

C++11, which you are using if this compiles, allows the following:

for (string& feature : features) {     // do something with `feature` } 

This is the range-based for loop.

If you don’t want to mutate the feature, you can also declare it as string const& (or just string, but that will cause an unnecessary copy).
