Need help with returning and element of a std::list
I need some help with the logic of a function I have. I simply am trying to return an element of a list...
Code:
std::list < Font > m_fontList;
Font &Graphics::GetFont( const std::string &fontName )
{
std::list< Font >::iterator listIterator;
// Find the font.
for( listIterator = m_fontList.begin();
listIterator != m_fontList.end();
listIterator++ )
{
if( listIterator->GetFontName() == fontName )
{
return *listIterator; //1 is this correct
}
}
// 2 What would the default return value be if the element was not found
}
1) am I returning the element correctly via the iterator?
2) What would I do for the default return value?
Regards
