Hello, what am i doing wrong in this code:
for(int i = 0; i != m_Inventory.end(); ++i){
//inventory crap
}
the problem is in i != m_Inventory.end();
It says that the != operator is unknown. Now i believe this is saying i need to overload the != operator, but why? Thanks for all help.
And if you are using C++11, not only can you use auto like SiCrane mentioned, you can reformat the entire for() loop into a range-style for() loop:
for(const InventoryItem &item : m_Inventory) //Note the single 'colon' instead of two 'semicolons'.
{
}
(You can also use 'auto' when specifying the element type in the range-for)
It loops over the entire container, and de-references the iterator for you.

for(auto const& item : inventory) {
}When introducing range-for the first time, I use the explicit type to show that range-for doesn't depend on 'auto', and to illustrate what the range-for is actually doing.
Almost all of my actual uses of range-for() use auto - but I try not to bootstrap too many new concepts together in one snippet or it makes the individual and distinct concepts harder to learn. People don't have to learn what 'auto' means before they can use range-for().
