Collection for

Learn collection for in Dart through a focused explanation, a dedicated topic-specific example, an engineering boundary, and a mastery check.

10 min read • Intermediate

collection for is an atomic Dart topic inside Collections. The example uses the named construct directly so you can see its syntax, data flow, and observable behavior.

Read the code by locating the exact feature named collection for, then trace the value before and after that feature runs. This lesson is intentionally isolated from neighboring topics: changing identifiers alone would not reproduce the same behavior because the construct itself is different.

Topic-specific example

dart-0029-a994ecf411.dart
dart Try It Live 
void main(){var xs=[for(var n in [1,2,3])n*n];print(xs);}
Edge case / engineering note

For collection for, test the boundary that makes the feature meaningful: invalid input, an empty value, a missing branch, lifecycle/cleanup, or a type/runtime constraint. Do not infer correctness only from the happy path.
