Nah, looks like C++11. e.g. for (auto it : vector) Range-based for loop (since C++11) - cppreference.com[^]

The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.Hi. I would like to help with the answer to your question.

The two colons are the scoping operator.
Used to access the elements of the namespace. But in this matter, the editors of this site are more competent. Read more here: [url=https://sirinsoftware.com/services/iot-development/\]https://sirinsoftware.com/services/iot-development/\[/url\]
