Units of measure — an OPEN-basis Quantity over a user-extensible generator set.

The ℤⁿ-graded prototype (quantity-zn-graded.d) fixes the basis: a dimension is a 3-slot struct Dim { int mass, length, time; }, so the group ℤ³ — and its generators — are baked into the core. This prototype takes the open stance: a dimension is a CTFE-normalized array of (name, exp) pairs — Gen[] — over an unbounded tag set. Normal form is "sorted by name, zero exponents dropped, equal names merged", so [Gen("m", -2), Gen("W", 1)] and [Gen("W", 1), Gen("m", -2)] are the same type. A user mints a brand-new base dimension — "sr" (steradian), "W" (watt), or a bespoke "sample" axis for a Monte-Carlo path tracer — just by naming it, with no edit to a closed ℤⁿ core. combine is a CTFE merge of two (name, exp) lists (the group op and its inverse); +/- live within one grade, *// are total. Radiance W m^-2 sr^-1 and a sample-carrying estimator coexist, while static assert(!__traits(compiles, radiance + irradiance)) turns the intended cross-grade rejection into a checked, passing part of the program.

The trade against the closed basis: the open form pays a small CTFE-normalization and array-comparison cost per instantiation and loses the int[3] layout guarantee, but never needs a central registry edit and composes new axes freely — the "registry vs closed generator set" axis of the comparison matrix.

Companion to docs/research/units-of-measure/cpp-au.md (Au's fixed Dimension pack) and docs/research/units-of-measure/cpp-mp-units.md (mp-units' extensible base-quantity system); the "closed vs open basis" comparison axis.

Composition

scalar here, but the same open Gen[] dimension would wrap a sparkles:math Vector!(double, N) in composition ordering AQuantity!(dims, Vec3), the dimension outside the vector — exactly as quantity-affine-torsor.d wraps a fixed ℤ³ Dim; the basis being open changes nothing about how the payload nests.

(module) std.algorithm

This package implements generic algorithms oriented towards the processing of sequences. Sequences processed by these functions define range-based interfaces. See also Reference on ranges and tutorial on ranges.

Algorithms are categorized into the following submodules:

Many functions in this package are parameterized with a predicate. The predicate may be any suitable callable type (a function, a delegate, a functor, or a lambda), or a compile-time string. The string may consist of any legal D expression that uses the symbol a (for unary functions) or the symbols a and b (for binary functions). These names will NOT interfere with other homonym symbols in user code because they are evaluated in a different context. The default for all binary comparison predicates is "a == b" for unordered operations and "a < b" for ordered operations.

Example

int[] a = ...;
static bool greater(int a, int b)
{
    return a > b;
}
sort!greater(a);           // predicate as alias
sort!((a, b) => a > b)(a); // predicate as a lambda.
sort!"a > b"(a);           // predicate as string
                           // (no ambiguity with array name)
sort(a);                   // no predicate, "a < b" is implicit

algorithm
:
(alias template) sort = std.algorithm.sorting.sort(alias less = "a < b", SwapStrategy ss = SwapStrategy.unstable, Range)(Range r)

Sorts a random-access range according to the predicate less.

Performs $(BIGOH r.length * log(r.length)) evaluations of `less`. If `less` involves expensive computations on the _sort key, it may be worthwhile to use $(LREF schwartzSort) instead.

Stable sorting requires hasAssignableElements!Range to be true.

sort returns a $(REF SortedRange, std,range) over the original range, allowing functions that can take advantage of sorted data to know that the range is sorted and adjust accordingly. The $(REF SortedRange, std,range) is a wrapper around the original range, so both it and the original range are sorted. Other functions can't know that the original range has been sorted, but they $(I can) know that $(REF SortedRange, std,range) has been sorted.

Preconditions:

The predicate is expected to satisfy certain rules in order for sort to behave as expected - otherwise, the program may fail on certain inputs (but not others) when not compiled in release mode, due to the cursory assumeSorted check. Specifically, sort expects less(a,b) && less(b,c) to imply less(a,c) (transitivity), and, conversely, !less(a,b) && !less(b,c) to imply !less(a,c). Note that the default predicate ("a < b") does not always satisfy these conditions for floating point types, because the expression will always be false when either a or b is NaN. Use $(REF cmp, std,math) instead.

Params: less = The predicate to sort by. ss = The swapping strategy to use. r = The range to sort.

Returns: The initial range wrapped as a SortedRange with the predicate binaryFun!less.

Algorithms: $(HTTP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introsort, Introsort) is used for unstable sorting and $(HTTP en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timsort, Timsort) is used for stable sorting. Each algorithm has benefits beyond stability. Introsort is generally faster but Timsort may achieve greater speeds on data with low entropy or if predicate calls are expensive. Introsort performs no allocations whereas Timsort will perform one or more allocations per call. Both algorithms have $(BIGOH n log n) worst-case time complexity.

Sorts a random-access range according to the predicate less.

Performs O(r.length * log(r.length)) evaluations of less. If less involves expensive computations on the sort key, it may be worthwhile to use schwartzSort instead.

Stable sorting requires hasAssignableElements!Range to be true.

sort returns a SortedRange over the original range, allowing functions that can take advantage of sorted data to know that the range is sorted and adjust accordingly. The SortedRange is a wrapper around the original range, so both it and the original range are sorted. Other functions can't know that the original range has been sorted, but they can know that SortedRange has been sorted.

Preconditions

The predicate is expected to satisfy certain rules in order for sort to behave as expected - otherwise, the program may fail on certain inputs (but not others) when not compiled in release mode, due to the cursory assumeSorted check. Specifically, sort expects less(a,b) && less(b,c) to imply less(a,c) (transitivity), and, conversely, !less(a,b) && !less(b,c) to imply !less(a,c). Note that the default predicate ("a < b") does not always satisfy these conditions for floating point types, because the expression will always be false when either a or b is NaN. Use cmp instead.

Algorithms

Introsort is used for unstable sorting and Timsort is used for stable sorting. Each algorithm has benefits beyond stability. Introsort is generally faster but Timsort may achieve greater speeds on data with low entropy or if predicate calls are expensive. Introsort performs no allocations whereas Timsort will perform one or more allocations per call. Both algorithms have O(n log n) worst-case time complexity.

conv
:
(alias template) to = std.conv.to(T)

The to template converts a value from one type _to another. The source type is deduced and the target type must be specified, for example the expression to!int(42.0) converts the number 42 from double _to int. The conversion is "safe", i.e., it checks for overflow; to!int(4.2e10) would throw the ConvOverflowException exception. Overflow checks are only inserted when necessary, e.g., to!double(42) does not do any checking because any int fits in a double.

Conversions from string _to numeric types differ from the C equivalents atoi() and atol() by checking for overflow and not allowing whitespace.

For conversion of strings _to signed types, the grammar recognized is: $(PRE $(I Integer): $(I Sign UnsignedInteger) $(I UnsignedInteger) $(I Sign): $(B +) $(B -))

For conversion _to unsigned types, the grammar recognized is: $(PRE $(I UnsignedInteger): $(I DecimalDigit) $(I DecimalDigit) $(I UnsignedInteger))

The to template converts a value from one type to another. The source type is deduced and the target type must be specified, for example the expression to`!int(42.0)` converts the number 42 from `double` to `int`. The conversion is "safe", i.e., it checks for overflow; to!int(4.2e10) would throw the ConvOverflowException exception. Overflow checks are only inserted when necessary, e.g., ``to!double(42) does not do any checking because any int fits in a double.

Conversions from string to numeric types differ from the C equivalents atoi() and atol() by checking for overflow and not allowing whitespace.

For conversion of strings to signed types, the grammar recognized is: Integer: Sign UnsignedInteger UnsignedInteger Sign: + -

For conversion to unsigned types, the grammar recognized is: UnsignedInteger: DecimalDigit DecimalDigit UnsignedInteger

Examples

Converting a value to its own type (useful mostly for generic code) simply returns its argument.

int a = 42;
int b = to!int(a);
double c = to!double(3.14); // c is double with value 3.14

Converting among numeric types is a safe way to cast them around.

Conversions from floating-point types to integral types allow loss of precision (the fractional part of a floating-point number). The conversion is truncating towards zero, the same way a cast would truncate. (To round a floating point value when casting to an integral, use roundTo.)

import std.exception : assertThrown;

int a = 420;
assert(to!long(a) == a);
assertThrown!ConvOverflowException(to!byte(a));

assert(to!int(4.2e6) == 4200000);
assertThrown!ConvOverflowException(to!uint(-3.14));
assert(to!uint(3.14) == 3);
assert(to!uint(3.99) == 3);
assert(to!int(-3.99) == -3);

When converting strings to numeric types, note that D hexadecimal and binary literals are not handled. Neither the prefixes that indicate the base, nor the horizontal bar used to separate groups of digits are recognized. This also applies to the suffixes that indicate the type.

To work around this, you can specify a radix for conversions involving numbers.

auto str = to!string(42, 16);
assert(str == "2A");
auto i = to!int(str, 16);
assert(i == 42);

Conversions from integral types to floating-point types always succeed, but might lose accuracy. The largest integers with a predecessor representable in floating-point format are 2^24-1 for float, 2^53-1 for double, and 2^64-1 for real (when real is 80-bit, e.g. on Intel machines).

// 2^24 - 1, largest proper integer representable as float
int a = 16_777_215;
assert(to!int(to!float(a)) == a);
assert(to!int(to!float(-a)) == -a);

Conversion from string types to char types enforces the input to consist of a single code point, and said code point must fit in the target type. Otherwise, ConvException is thrown.

import std.exception : assertThrown;

assert(to!char("a") == 'a');
assertThrown(to!char("ñ")); // 'ñ' does not fit into a char
assert(to!wchar("ñ") == 'ñ');
assertThrown(to!wchar("😃")); // '😃' does not fit into a wchar
assert(to!dchar("😃") == '😃');

// Using wstring or dstring as source type does not affect the result
assert(to!char("a"w) == 'a');
assert(to!char("a"d) == 'a');

// Two code points cannot be converted to a single one
assertThrown(to!char("ab"));

Converting an array to another array type works by converting each element in turn. Associative arrays can be converted to associative arrays as long as keys and values can in turn be converted.

import std.string : split;

int[] a = [1, 2, 3];
auto b = to!(float[])(a);
assert(b == [1.0f, 2, 3]);
string str = "1 2 3 4 5 6";
auto numbers = to!(double[])(split(str));
assert(numbers == [1.0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
int[string] c;
c["a"] = 1;
c["b"] = 2;
auto d = to!(double[wstring])(c);
assert(d["a"w] == 1 && d["b"w] == 2);

Conversions operate transitively, meaning that they work on arrays and associative arrays of any complexity.

This conversion works because to`!short` applies to an `int`, to!wstring applies to a string, to`!string` applies to a `double`, and to!(double[]) applies to an int[]. The conversion might throw an exception because ``to!short might fail the range check.

int[string][double[int[]]] a;
auto b = to!(short[wstring][string[double[]]])(a);

Object-to-object conversions by dynamic casting throw exception when the source is non-null and the target is null.

import std.exception : assertThrown;
// Testing object conversions
class A {}
class B : A {}
class C : A {}
A a1 = new A, a2 = new B, a3 = new C;
assert(to!B(a2) is a2);
assert(to!C(a3) is a3);
assertThrown!ConvException(to!B(a3));

Stringize conversion from all types is supported.

  • String to string conversion works for any two string types having (char, wchar, dchar) character widths and any combination of qualifiers (mutable, const, or immutable).

  • Converts array (other than strings) to string. Each element is converted by calling ``to!T.

  • Associative array to string conversion. Each element is converted by calling ``to!T.

  • Object to string conversion calls toString against the object or returns "null" if the object is null.

  • Struct to string conversion calls toString against the struct if it is defined.

  • For structs that do not define toString, the conversion to string produces the list of fields.

  • Enumerated types are converted to strings as their symbolic names.

  • Boolean values are converted to "true" or "false".

  • char, wchar, dchar to a string type.

  • Unsigned or signed integers to strings.

    special case

    : Convert integral value to string in radix radix. radix must be a value from 2 to 36. value is treated as a signed value only if radix is 10. The characters A through Z are used to represent values 10 through 36 and their case is determined by the letterCase parameter.

  • All floating point types to all string types.

  • Pointer to string conversions convert the pointer to a size_t value. If pointer is char*, treat it as C-style strings. In that case, this function is @system.

See formatValue on how toString should be defined.

// Conversion representing dynamic/static array with string
long[] a = [ 1, 3, 5 ];
assert(to!string(a) == "[1, 3, 5]");

// Conversion representing associative array with string
int[string] associativeArray = ["0":1, "1":2];
assert(to!string(associativeArray) == `["0":1, "1":2]` ||
       to!string(associativeArray) == `["1":2, "0":1]`);

// char* to string conversion
assert(to!string(cast(char*) null) == "");
assert(to!string("foo\0".ptr) == "foo");

// Conversion reinterpreting void array to string
auto w = "abcx"w;
const(void)[] b = w;
assert(b.length == 8);

auto c = to!(wchar[])(b);
assert(c == "abcx");

Strings can be converted to enum types. The enum member with the same name as the input string is returned. The comparison is case-sensitive.

A ConvException is thrown if the enum does not have the specified member.

import std.exception : assertThrown;

enum E { a, b, c }
assert(to!E("a") == E.a);
assert(to!E("b") == E.b);
assertThrown!ConvException(to!E("A"));

Limitation

Format Strings

The functions contained in this package use format strings. A format string describes the layout of another string for reading or writing purposes. A format string is composed of normal text interspersed with format specifiers. A format specifier starts with a percentage sign '%', optionally followed by one or more parameters and ends with a format indicator. A format indicator may be a simple format character or a compound indicator.

Format strings are composed according to the following grammar:

FormatString: FormatStringItem FormatString FormatStringItem: Character FormatSpecifier FormatSpecifier: '%' Parameters FormatIndicator

FormatIndicator: FormatCharacter CompoundIndicator FormatCharacter: see remark below CompoundIndicator: '(' FormatString '%)' '(' FormatString '%|' Delimiter '%)' Delimiter empty Character Delimiter

Parameters: Position Flags Width Precision Separator Position: empty Integer '$'** *Integer* **':'** *Integer* **'$' Integer ':' '$'** *Flags*: *empty* *Flag* *Flags* *Flag*: **'-'**|**'+'**|**'&nbsp;'**|**'0'**|**'#'**|**'='** *Width*: *OptionalPositionalInteger* *Precision*: *empty* **'.'** *OptionalPositionalInteger* *Separator*: *empty* **','** *OptionalInteger* **','** *OptionalInteger* **'?'** *OptionalInteger*: *empty* *Integer* **'*'** *OptionalPositionalInteger*: *OptionalInteger* **'*'** *Integer* **'$'

Character '%%' AnyCharacterExceptPercent Integer: NonZeroDigit Digits Digits: empty Digit Digits NonZeroDigit: '1'|'2'|'3'|'4'|'5'|'6'|'7'|'8'|'9' Digit: '0'|'1'|'2'|'3'|'4'|'5'|'6'|'7'|'8'|'9'

Note

FormatCharacter is unspecified. It can be any character that has no other purpose in this grammar, but it is recommended to assign (lower- and uppercase) letters.

Note

The Parameters of a CompoundIndicator are currently limited to a '-' flag.

Format Indicator

The format indicator can either be a single character or an expression surrounded by '%(' and '%)'. It specifies the basic manner in which a value will be formatted and is the minimum requirement to format a value.

The following characters can be used as format characters:

FormatCharacter Semantics
's'
To be formatted in a human readable format.
Can be used with all types.
'c'
To be formatted as a character.
'd'
To be formatted as a signed decimal integer.
'u'
To be formatted as a decimal image of the underlying bit representation.
'b'
To be formatted as a binary image of the underlying bit representation.
'o'
To be formatted as an octal image of the underlying bit representation.
'x' / 'X'
To be formatted as a hexadecimal image of the underlying bit representation.
'e' / 'E'
To be formatted as a real number in decimal scientific notation.
'f' / 'F'
To be formatted as a real number in decimal natural notation.
'g' / 'G'
To be formatted as a real number in decimal short notation.
Depending on the number, a scientific notation or
a natural notation is used.
'a' / 'A'
To be formatted as a real number in hexadecimal scientific notation.
'r'
To be formatted as raw bytes.
The output may not be printable and depends on endianness.

The compound indicator can be used to describe compound types like arrays or structs in more detail. A compound type is enclosed within '%(' and '%)'. The enclosed sub-format string is applied to individual elements. The trailing portion of the sub-format string following the specifier for the element is interpreted as the delimiter, and is therefore omitted following the last element. The '%|' specifier may be used to explicitly indicate the start of the delimiter, so that the preceding portion of the string will be included following the last element.

The format string inside of the compound indicator should contain exactly one format specifier (two in case of associative arrays), which specifies the formatting mode of the elements of the compound type. This format specifier can be a compound indicator itself.

Note

Inside a compound indicator, strings and characters are escaped automatically. To avoid this behavior, use "%-(" instead of "%(".

Flags

There are several flags that affect the outcome of the formatting.

Flag Semantics
'-'
When the formatted result is shorter than the value
given by the width parameter, the output is left
justified. Without the '-' flag, the output remains
right justified.

There are two exceptions where the '-' flag has a different meaning: (1) with 'r' it denotes to use little endian and (2) in case of a compound indicator it means that no special handling of the members is applied. | | '=' | When the formatted result is shorter than the value given by the width parameter, the output is centered. If the central position is not possible it is moved slightly to the right. In this case, if '-' flag is present in addition to the '=' flag, it is moved slightly to the left. | | '+'&nbsp;/&nbsp;*'&nbsp;'* | Applies to numerical values. By default, positive numbers are not formatted to include the + sign. With one of these two flags present, positive numbers are preceded by a plus sign or a space. When both flags are present, a plus sign is used.

In case of 'r', a big endian format is used. | | '0' | Is applied to numerical values that are printed right justified. If the zero flag is present, the space left to the number is filled with zeros instead of spaces. | | '#' | Denotes that an alternative output must be used. This depends on the type to be formatted and the format character used. See the sections below for more information. |

Width, Precision and Separator

The width parameter specifies the minimum width of the result.

The meaning of precision depends on the format indicator. For integers it denotes the minimum number of digits printed, for real numbers it denotes the number of fractional digits and for strings and compound types it denotes the maximum number of elements that are included in the output.

A separator is used for formatting numbers. If it is specified, the output is divided into chunks of three digits, separated by a ','. The number of digits in a chunk can be given explicitly by providing a number or a ''* after the ','.

In all three cases the number of digits can be replaced by a ''*. In this scenario, the next argument is used as the number of digits. If the argument is a negative number, the precision and separator parameters are considered unspecified. For width, the absolute value is used and the '-' flag is set.

The separator can also be followed by a '?'. In that case, an additional argument is used to specify the symbol that should be used to separate the chunks.

Position

By default, the arguments are processed in the provided order. With the position parameter it is possible to address arguments directly. It is also possible to denote a series of arguments with two numbers separated by ':', that are all processed in the same way. The second number can be omitted. In that case the series ends with the last argument.

It's also possible to use positional arguments for width, precision and separator by adding a number and a '$' after the ''*.

Types

This section describes the result of combining types with format characters. It is organized in 2 subsections: a list of general information regarding the formatting of types in the presence of format characters and a table that contains details for every available combination of type and format character.

When formatting types, the following rules apply:

  • If the format character is upper case, the resulting string will be formatted using upper case letters.

  • The default precision for floating point numbers is 6 digits.

  • Rounding of floating point numbers adheres to the rounding mode of the floating point unit, if available.

  • The floating point values NaN and Infinity are formatted as nan and inf, possibly preceded by '+' or '-' sign.

  • Formatting reals is only supported for 64 bit reals and 80 bit reals. All other reals are cast to double before they are formatted. This will cause the result to be inf for very large numbers.

  • Characters and strings formatted with the 's' format character inside of compound types are surrounded by single and double quotes and unprintable characters are escaped. To avoid this, a '-' flag can be specified for the compound specifier (e.g. "%-(%s%)" instead of "%(%s%)" ).

  • Structs, unions, classes and interfaces are formatted by calling a toString method if available. See module std.format.write for more details.

  • Only part of these combinations can be used for reading. See module std.format.read for more detailed information.

This table contains descriptions for every possible combination of type and format character:

<th scope="col" width="20%">Type</th> <th scope="col" width="20%">Format Character</th> Formatted as...
<td rowspan="1">null</td> 's'
null

|<td rowspan="3">bool</td> 's' | false or true |

| 'b', 'd', 'o', 'u', 'x', 'X' | As the integrals 0 or 1 with the same format character.

Please note, that 'o' and 'x' with '#' flag might produce unexpected results due to special handling of the value 0. |

| 'r' | \0 or \1 |

|<td rowspan="4">Integral</td> 's', 'd' | A signed decimal number. The '#' flag is ignored. |

| 'b', 'o', 'u', 'x', 'X' | An unsigned binary, decimal, octal or hexadecimal number.

In case of 'o' and 'x', the '#' flag denotes that the number must be preceded by 0 and 0x, with the exception of the value 0, where this does not apply. For 'b' and 'u' the '#' flag has no effect. |

| 'e', 'E', 'f', 'F', 'g', 'G', 'a', 'A' | As a floating point value with the same specifier.

Default precision is large enough to add all digits of the integral value.

In case of 'a' and 'A', the integral digit can be any hexadecimal digit. |

| 'r' | Characters taken directly from the binary representation. |

|<td rowspan="5">Floating Point</td> 'e', 'E' | Scientific notation: Exactly one integral digit followed by a dot and fractional digits, followed by the exponent. The exponent is formatted as 'e' followed by a '+' or '-' sign, followed by at least two digits.

When there are no fractional digits and the '#' flag is not present, the dot is omitted. |

| 'f', 'F' | Natural notation: Integral digits followed by a dot and fractional digits.

When there are no fractional digits and the '#' flag is not present, the dot is omitted.

Please note: the difference between 'f' and 'F' is only visible for NaN and Infinity. |

| 's', 'g', 'G' | Short notation: If the absolute value is larger than 10 ^^ precision or smaller than 0.0001, the scientific notation is used. If not, the natural notation is applied.

In both cases precision denotes the count of all digits, including the integral digits. Trailing zeros (including a trailing dot) are removed.

If '#' flag is present, trailing zeros are not removed. |

| 'a', 'A' | Hexadecimal scientific notation: 0x followed by 1 (or 0 in case of value zero or denormalized number) followed by a dot, fractional digits in hexadecimal notation and an exponent. The exponent is build by p, followed by a sign and the exponent in decimal notation.

When there are no fractional digits and the '#' flag is not present, the dot is omitted. |

| 'r' | Characters taken directly from the binary representation. |

|<td rowspan="3">Character</td> 's', 'c' | As the character.

Inside of a compound indicator 's' is treated differently: The character is surrounded by single quotes and non printable characters are escaped. This can be avoided by preceding the compound indicator with a '-' flag (e.g. "%-(%s%)"). |

| 'b', 'd', 'o', 'u', 'x', 'X' | As the integral that represents the character. |

| 'r' | Characters taken directly from the binary representation. |

|<td rowspan="3">String</td> 's' | The sequence of characters that form the string.

Inside of a compound indicator the string is surrounded by double quotes and non printable characters are escaped. This can be avoided by preceding the compound indicator with a '-' flag (e.g. "%-(%s%)"). |

| 'r' | The sequence of characters, each formatted with 'r'. |

| compound | As an array of characters. |

|<td rowspan="3">Array</td> 's' | When the elements are characters, the array is formatted as a string. In all other cases the array is surrounded by square brackets and the elements are separated by a comma and a space. If the elements are strings, they are surrounded by double quotes and non printable characters are escaped. |

| 'r' | The sequence of the elements, each formatted with 'r'. |

| compound | The sequence of the elements, each formatted according to the specifications given inside of the compound specifier. |

|<td rowspan="2">Associative Array</td> 's' | As a sequence of the elements in unpredictable order. The output is surrounded by square brackets. The elements are separated by a comma and a space. The elements are formatted as key:value. |

| compound | As a sequence of the elements in unpredictable order. Each element is formatted according to the specifications given inside of the compound specifier. The first specifier is used for formatting the key and the second specifier is used for formatting the value. The order can be changed with positional arguments. For example "%(%2$s (%1$s), %)" will write the value, followed by the key in parenthesis. |

|<td rowspan="2">Enum</td> 's' | The name of the value. If the name is not available, the base value is used, preceeded by a cast. |

| All, but 's' | Enums can be formatted with all format characters that can be used with the base value. In that case they are formatted like the base value. |

|<td rowspan="3">Input Range</td> 's' | When the elements of the range are characters, they are written like a string. In all other cases, the elements are enclosed by square brackets and separated by a comma and a space. |

| 'r' | The sequence of the elements, each formatted with 'r'. |

| compound | The sequence of the elements, each formatted according to the specifications given inside of the compound specifier. |

|<td rowspan="1">Struct</td> 's' | When the struct has neither an applicable toString nor is an input range, it is formatted as follows: StructType(field1, field2, ...). |

|<td rowspan="1">Class</td> 's' | When the class has neither an applicable toString nor is an input range, it is formatted as the fully qualified name of the class. |

|<td rowspan="1">Union</td> 's' | When the union has neither an applicable toString nor is an input range, it is formatted as its base name. |

|<td rowspan="2">Pointer</td> 's' | A null pointer is formatted as 'null'. All other pointers are formatted as hexadecimal numbers with the format character 'X'. |

| 'x', 'X' | Formatted as a hexadecimal number. |

|<td rowspan="3">SIMD vector</td> 's' | The array is surrounded by square brackets and the elements are separated by a comma and a space. |

| 'r' | The sequence of the elements, each formatted with 'r'. |

| compound | The sequence of the elements, each formatted according to the specifications given inside of the compound specifier. |

|<td rowspan="1">Delegate</td> 's', 'r', compound | As the .stringof of this delegate treated as a string.

Please note: The implementation is currently buggy and its use is discouraged. |

Examples

Simple use:

// Easiest way is to use `%s` everywhere:
assert(format("I got %s %s for %s euros.", 30, "eggs", 5.27) == "I got 30 eggs for 5.27 euros.");

// Other format characters provide more control:
assert(format("I got %b %(%X%) for %f euros.", 30, "eggs", 5.27) == "I got 11110 65676773 for 5.270000 euros.");

Compound specifiers allow formatting arrays and other compound types:

/*
The trailing end of the sub-format string following the specifier for
each item is interpreted as the array delimiter, and is therefore
omitted following the last array item:
 */
    assert(format("My items are %(%s %).", [1,2,3]) == "My items are 1 2 3.");
    assert(format("My items are %(%s, %).", [1,2,3]) == "My items are 1, 2, 3.");

/*
The "%|" delimiter specifier may be used to indicate where the
delimiter begins, so that the portion of the format string prior to
it will be retained in the last array element:
 */
    assert(format("My items are %(-%s-%|, %).", [1,2,3]) == "My items are -1-, -2-, -3-.");

/*
These compound format specifiers may be nested in the case of a
nested array argument:
 */
    auto mat = [[1, 2, 3],
                [4, 5, 6],
                [7, 8, 9]];

    assert(format("%(%(%d %) - %)", mat), "1 2 3 - 4 5 6 - 7 8 9");
    assert(format("[%(%(%d %) - %)]", mat), "[1 2 3 - 4 5 6 - 7 8 9]");
    assert(format("[%([%(%d %)]%| - %)]", mat), "[1 2 3] - [4 5 6] - [7 8 9]");

/*
Strings and characters are escaped automatically inside compound
format specifiers. To avoid this behavior, use "%-(" instead of "%(":
 */
    assert(format("My friends are %s.", ["John", "Nancy"]) == `My friends are ["John", "Nancy"].`);
    assert(format("My friends are %(%s, %).", ["John", "Nancy"]) == `My friends are "John", "Nancy".`);
    assert(format("My friends are %-(%s, %).", ["John", "Nancy"]) == `My friends are John, Nancy.`);

Using parameters:

// Flags can be used to influence to outcome:
assert(format("%g != %+#g", 3.14, 3.14) == "3.14 != +3.14000");

// Width and precision help to arrange the formatted result:
assert(format(">%10.2f<", 1234.56789) == ">   1234.57<");

// Numbers can be grouped:
assert(format("%,4d", int.max) == "21,4748,3647");

// It's possible to specify the position of an argument:
assert(format("%3$s %1$s", 3, 17, 5) == "5 3");

Providing parameters as arguments:

// Width as argument
assert(format(">%*s<", 10, "abc") == ">       abc<");

// Precision as argument
assert(format(">%.*f<", 5, 123.2) == ">123.20000<");

// Grouping as argument
assert(format("%,*d", 1, int.max) == "2,1,4,7,4,8,3,6,4,7");

// Grouping separator as argument

format
:
(alias template) format = std.format.format(Char, Args...)(in Char[] fmt, Args args) if (isSomeChar!Char)

Converts its arguments according to a format string into a string.

The second version of format takes the format string as template argument. In this case, it is checked for consistency at compile-time and produces slightly faster code, because the length of the output buffer can be estimated in advance.

Params: fmt = a $(MREF_ALTTEXT format string, std,format) args = a variadic list of arguments to be formatted Char = character type of fmt Args = a variadic list of types of the arguments

Returns: The formatted string.

Throws: A $(LREF FormatException) if formatting did not succeed.

See_Also: $(LREF sformat) for a variant, that tries to avoid garbage collection.

Examples

The format string can be checked at compile-time:

auto s = format!"%s is %s"("Pi", 3.14);
assert(s == "Pi is 3.14");

// This line doesn't compile, because 3.14 cannot be formatted with %d:

Standard I/O functions that extend core.stdc.stdio. core.stdc.stdio is publically imported when importing std.stdio.

There are three layers of I/O:

  1. The lowest layer is the operating system layer. The two main schemes are Windows and Posix.

  2. C's stdio.h which unifies the two operating system schemes.

  3. std.stdio, this module, unifies the various stdio.h implementations into a high level package for D programs.

Equivalent to write(args, '\n'). Calling writeln without arguments is valid and just prints a newline to the standard output.

Example

Reads stdin and writes it to stdout with an argument counter.

import std.stdio;

void main()
{
    string line;

    for (size_t count = 0; (line = readln) !is null; count++)
    {
