Array.ForEach<T>(T[], Action<T>) Method

public:
generic <typename T>
 static void ForEach(cli::array <T> ^ array, Action<T> ^ action);

public static void ForEach<T>(T[] array, Action<T> action);

static member ForEach : 'T[] * Action<'T> -> unit

Public Shared Sub ForEach(Of T) (array As T(), action As Action(Of T))

The following example shows how to use ForEach to display the squares of each element in an integer array.

using namespace System;

public ref class SamplesArray
{
public:
    static void Main()
    {
        // create a three element array of integers
        array<int>^ intArray = gcnew array<int> {2, 3, 4};

        // set a delegate for the ShowSquares method
        Action<int>^ action = gcnew Action<int>(ShowSquares);

        Array::ForEach(intArray, action);
    }

private:
    static void ShowSquares(int val)
    {
        Console::WriteLine("{0:d} squared = {1:d}", val, val*val);
    }
};

int main()
{
    SamplesArray::Main();
}

/*
This code produces the following output:

2 squared = 4
3 squared = 9

using System;

        // create a three element array of integers
        int[] intArray = new int[] {2, 3, 4};

        // set a delegate for the ShowSquares method
        Action<int> action = new Action<int>(ShowSquares);

        Array.ForEach(intArray, action);
    }

    private static void ShowSquares(int val)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("{0:d} squared = {1:d}", val, val*val);

The Action<T> is a delegate to a method that performs an action on the object passed to it. The elements of array are individually passed to the Action<T>.

This method is an O(n) operation, where n is the Length of array.

In F#, the Array.iter function can be used instead.
