Message: [QUOTE="Steven T. Hatton, post: 2591524"] That can be accomplished by providing an alternative interface to the same underlying collection. The Java thing to do would be "slap an interface on it" or "wrap it up in a collection interface". The big difference as I see it is that std::for_each takes functionality as an argument, whereas the conventional for-each construct has a body consisting of a block of code. IMO, boost::lambda is a path to becoming an academic niche language. That is something worth looking into.
