Current solution:int[] nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; int i = 6; bool intFound = false; foreach(n; nums) { if(n == i) { intFound = true; break; } } if(!intFound) { //i was not found, do stuff } Using for/then/else: int[] nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]; int i = 6; foreach(n; nums) { if(n == i) break; } then { //i was not found, do stuff }Not only would this be more compact and easier to read, but it should also be more efficient (less checking and less memory usage).
Python has a very similar thing, where you can have an else after a loop. However I always found it unintuitive whether the else branch gets executed if you break the loop or if you finish all iterations without breaking. Even now I'd have to look it up.
