Question

Is there a direct analog to this in C++?

for num in [1,4,5] :

iterates through a loop using num=1, then 4, then 5. If I call continue within this loop it goes to the next number wherever I may call it.

Is there a similar structure in C++?

Answer 1

In C++11, the following is legal:

for (auto num : {1,4,5})
{
    // loop body
}

{1,4,5} here is an instance of std::initializer_list<int>.
