[[File:For-Loop-Mint-Programming-Language-Type-2.gif|thumb|{{mono|foreach}} loops are almost always used to iterate over items in a sequence of elements.]]
{{Loop constructs}}<!--
In [[computer programming]], '''foreach loop''' (or '''for-each loop''') is a [[control flow]] statement for traversing items in a [[Collection class|collection]]. {{mono|foreach}} is usually used in place of a standard {{mono|[[For loop|for]]}} loop [[Statement (computer science)|statement]]. Unlike other {{mono|for}} loop constructs, however, {{mono|foreach}} loops<ref>{{cite web

Syntax varies among languages. Most use the simple word <code>for</code>, although other use the more logical word <code>foreach</code>, roughly as follows:

In [[Perl]], ''foreach'' (which is equivalent to the shorter for) can be used to traverse elements of a list. The expression which denotes the collection to loop over is evaluated in list-context and each item of the resulting list is, in turn, aliased to the loop variable.

{{Main|Rust (programming language)}}
The <code>for</code> loop has the structure <syntaxhighlight lang="rust" inline>for <pattern> in <expression> { /* optional statements */ }</syntaxhighlight>. It implicitly calls the [https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.IntoIterator.html <code>IntoIterator::into_iter</code>] method on the expression, and uses the resulting value, which must implement the [https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.Iterator.html <code>Iterator</code>] trait. If the expression is itself an iterator, it is used directly by the <code>for</code> loop through an [https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/iter/trait.IntoIterator.html#impl-IntoIterator-25 implementation of <code>IntoIterator</code> for all <code>Iterator</code>s] that returns the iterator unchanged. The loop calls the <code>Iterator::next</code> method on the iterator before executing the loop body. If <code>Iterator::next</code> returns <code>[[option type|Some(_)]]</code>, the value inside is assigned to the [[pattern matching|pattern]] and the loop body is executed; if it returns <code>None</code>, the loop is terminated.
