in reply to Beginner's question about elegent foreach

You have two loops which unconditionally do different things to different variables/fields and one loop which conditionally does similar things as the first loop but to different variables/fields.

Using three separate loops for this is OK.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
