I forgot to say that you don't need to write a constructor for most
structs because Time's constructor-generated default constructor works
like yours and with default arguments:
struct Time {
public int hours, minutes, seconds;
// No constructor needed here.
// Note 'return this;' as the last statement would be
// mimicing how fundamental types like 'int'
// work. However, I am getting the following warning when
// I do that:
//
// Deprecation: returning `this` escapes a reference to
// parameter `this` perhaps annotate the function with
// `return`
//
// For simplicity, I will just return void in this code.
//
void opAssign(int secos) {
assert(secos <= 86_400);
hours = secos / 3600;
minutes = (secos % 3600) / 60;
seconds = secos % 60;
}
}
import std.stdio;
void main() {
auto time = Time(360);
time = 12_345;
writeln(time);
readln;
}
