or, you could use iterators:
typedef std::vector< Switch > tSwitchContainer
typedef tSwitchContainer::iterator tSwitchItr;
tSwitchContainer Switches;
for ( tSwitchItr cur = Switches.begin(); cur != Switches.end(); cur++)
{
// do stuff.....
}
nice thing about this is you could use any container and the code would
still work
