Algorithm
Applies a function to each element in a range.
None
#include <algorithm>
template <class InputIterator, class Function>
void for_each(InputIterator first, InputIterator last,
Function f);
The for_each algorithm applies function f to all members of the sequence in the range [first, last), where first and last are iterators that define the sequence. Since this a non-mutating algorithm, the function f cannot make any modifications to the sequence, but it can achieve results through side effects (such as copying or printing). If f returns a result, the result is ignored.
The function f is applied exactly last - first times.

If your compiler does not support default template parameters, then you always need to supply the Allocator template argument. For instance, you have to write:
vector<int, allocator<int> >
instead of:
vector<int>
If your compiler does not support namespaces, then you do not need the using declaration for std.
