# forEach(_:) Calls the given closure on each element in the sequence in the same order as a `for`-`in` loop. ``` func forEach(_ body: (Self.Element) throws -> Void) rethrows ``` ## Parameters `body` A closure that takes an element of the sequence as a parameter. ## Discussion The two loops in the following example produce the same output: ``` let numberWords = ["one", "two", "three"] for word in numberWords { print(word) } // Prints "one" // Prints "two" // Prints "three" numberWords.forEach { word in print(word) } // Same as above ``` Using the `forEach` method is distinct from a `for`-`in` loop in two important ways: 1. You cannot use a `break` or `continue` statement to exit the current call of the `body` closure or skip subsequent calls. 2. Using the `return` statement in the `body` closure will exit only from the current call to `body`, not from any outer scope, and won’t skip subsequent calls. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
