Demystifying C++ Series: Range-Based for Loops

As part of our ongoing effort to clarify and simplify the complexities of C++ through its translation to C, we turn our attention to range-based for loops. These loops in C++ simplify iteration over containers or arrays, eliminating the need for explicit index or iterator management. However, their translation to C, especially when involving temporary variables, requires careful consideration.

🔍 Key Insights

• The standard representation of range-based for loops in literature
• Challenges and considerations when the range-expression involves temporary variables, such as `std::initializer_list`
• An illustrative example highlighting the correct C translation for a range-based for loop using `std::initializer_list`
