Does C have a "foreach" loop construct?

C doesn't have a foreach, but macros are frequently used to emulate that:

#define for_each_item(item, list) \
    for(T * item = list->head; item != NULL; item = item->next)

And can be used like

for_each_item(i, processes) {
    i->wakeup();
}

Iteration over an array is also possible:

#define foreach(item, array) \
    for(int keep = 1, \
            count = 0,\
            size = sizeof (array) / sizeof *(array); \
        keep && count != size; \
        keep = !keep, count++) \
      for(item = (array) + count; keep; keep = !keep)

And can be used like

int values[] = { 1, 2, 3 };
foreach(int *v, values) {
    printf("value: %d\n", *v);
}

Edit: In case you are also interested in C++ solutions, C++ has a native for-each syntax called "range based for"

Here is a full program example of a for-each macro in C99:

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct list_node list_node;
struct list_node {
    list_node *next;
    void *data;
};

#define FOR_EACH(item, list) \
    for (list_node *(item) = (list); (item); (item) = (item)->next)

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    list_node list[] = {
        { .next = &list[1], .data = "test 1" },
        { .next = &list[2], .data = "test 2" },
        { .next = NULL,     .data = "test 3" }
    };

    FOR_EACH(item, list)
        puts((char *) item->data);

    return 0;
}

As you probably already know, there's no "foreach"-style loop in C.

Although there are already tons of great macros provided here to work around this, maybe you'll find this macro useful:

// "length" is the length of the array.   
#define each(item, array, length) \
(typeof(*(array)) *p = (array), (item) = *p; p < &((array)[length]); p++, (item) = *p)

...which can be used with for (as in for each (...)).

Advantages of this approach:

• item is declared and incremented within the for statement (just like in Python!).
• Seems to work on any 1-dimensional array
• All variables created in macro (p, item), aren't visible outside the scope of the loop (since they're declared in the for loop header).

Disadvantages:

• Doesn't work for multi-dimensional arrays
• Relies on typeof(), which is a GNU extension, not part of standard C
• Since it declares variables in the for loop header, it only works in C11 or later.

Just to save you some time, here's how you could test it:

typedef struct {
    double x;
    double y;
} Point;

int main(void) {
    double some_nums[] = {4.2, 4.32, -9.9, 7.0};
    for each (element, some_nums, 4)
        printf("element = %lf\n", element);

    int numbers[] = {4, 2, 99, -3, 54};
    // Just demonstrating it can be used like a normal for loop
    for each (number, numbers, 5) { 
        printf("number = %d\n", number);
        if (number % 2 == 0)
                printf("%d is even.\n", number);
    }

    char* dictionary[] = {"Hello", "World"};
    for each (word, dictionary, 2)
        printf("word = '%s'\n", word);

    Point points[] = {{3.4, 4.2}, {9.9, 6.7}, {-9.8, 7.0}};
    for each (point, points, 3)
        printf("point = (%lf, %lf)\n", point.x, point.y);

    /* Neither p, element, number or word are visible outside the scope of
    their respective for loops. Try to see if these printfs work (they shouldn't): */
    //printf("*p = %s", *p);
    //printf("word = %s", word);

    return 0;
}

Seems to work on gcc and clang by default; haven't tested other compilers.

There is no foreach in C.

You can use a for loop to loop through the data but the length needs to be know or the data needs to be terminated by a know value (eg. null).

char* nullTerm;
nullTerm = "Loop through my characters";

for(;nullTerm != NULL;nullTerm++)
{
    //nullTerm will now point to the next character.
}

C has 'for' and 'while' keywords. If a foreach statement in a language like C# looks like this ...

foreach (Element element in collection)
{
}

... then the equivalent of this foreach statement in C might be be like:

for (
    Element* element = GetFirstElement(&collection);
    element != 0;
    element = GetNextElement(&collection, element)
    )
{
    //TODO: do something with this element instance ...
}
