[[Property:title|Iterating on a LIST]]
There is two Eiffel mecanisms to iterate on every element of a <code>LIST</code>.
The first it the <code>across</code> loop. The <code>across</code> can be used on every <code>ITERABLE</code> object (including <code>LIST</code> objects).
<code>
print_elements(a_list:LIST[INTEGER])
do
across a_list as la_list loop
print(la_list.item.out + "%N")
end
end
</code>
Note that the temporary variable (<code>la_list</code> in the example) represent an iterator of the <code>ITERABLE</code> object, and not directly an element like in many other language (like the <code>for</code> structure in Python for example).
The other mecanism use the <code>from until</code> loop syntax. This syntax offer more possibilities that the <code>across</code> loop, but is more risky.
<code>
print_elements(a_list:LIST[INTEGER])
do
from
a_list.start
until
a_list.exhausted
loop
print(a_list.item.out + "%N")
a_list.forth
end
end
</code>
