Actually you should avoid putting more code into loops.
When you use functions inside a loop, make at least sure they are declared as inline, else the copy/paste style of coding would be better, as it consumes less CPU cycles.

@Srekel: Yes, I think that would be an accurate statement. Hopefully they learn from here – or from other source. And, even experienced coders can be reminded to get rid of redundant code. Agile methods speak about this as well.

…I might even bet that you have some redundant code lying in your programs? ;)

Seriously, doesn’t everyone except beginners know about functions and their use?

That looks even better. Objects/classes is the way to go. Thanks for the additional details.

Ya, it’s a better way :

class CItem
{
virtual void Update() = 0; // pure virtual
};

class CSword : public CItem
{
void Update(); // sword update
}

class CBow : public CItem
{
void Update(); // bow update
}

list list;
list.add(new CSword);
list.add(new CBow);

for (int i=0; iUpdate();

One could also use polymorphism for this.
