I need to use function `eval` sometimes, but compiler throws an error: `Error: variable `firstOperand` cannot be read at compile time`.
You're probably misunderstanding `mixin`. It does not work like an eval function at Lisp or JavaScript or such. Instead, it evaluates it's contents at compile time, meaning that you can only use compile-time data in it, `enum` variables and template arguments for example.
Because the operator is not known at compile time, this means you need something else. Switch statement Paul Backus suggested is one option. You could alternatively try an associative array that maps the operators to the respective functions, something like (untested):
```D enum opMap = [ "+": (double a, double b) => a+b, "-": (double a, double b) => a-b, //... ]; //in the eval function return opMap[operator](firstOperand, secondOperand); ```
