Breaking in std::for_each loop

Question

While using std::for_each algorithm how do I break when a certain condition is satisfied?

Answer 1

You can use find_if algorithm, which will stop and return the iterator where the predicate condition applied to the iterated element returns true. So your predicate should be changed to return a boolean as the continue/break condition.

However, this is a hack, so you can use the algorithms.

Another way is to use BOOST_FOREACH.
