Range violation error in the code

[Ishan Thilina]

I can compile the following code. But when I run the program it gives me a
"core.exception.RangeError@untitled(34): Range violation
" error.

The code is as follows.

"
import std.stdio;

int main(char[][] args)
{
         struct Node{
                int _value;
                Node* _next,_prev,_up,_down;
        }

                Node*[]  pointers;
                int i=0;

                auto  n=new Node;
                pointers[i]=n;

        return 0;
}

"

Here's the error.

As it seems the problem is with the line "pointers[i]=n". What's wrong here? :s
