Hi,

Following the thread of Higher-order functions, how can I do to pass a
function as a parameter and return a function. That is a something like:

import std.functional, std.stdio;

int f (int a) {
return 2*a;
}

int delegate (int) g(int function(int a) p) {
return p;
}


void main() {
writeln(g(f)(1));
}


but it gives me:

$ gdmd-4.6 functions.d
functions.d:8: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (p) of type
int function(int a) to int delegate(int)
functions.d:13: Error: function functions.f (int a) is not callable
using argument types ()
functions.d:13: Error: expected 1 function arguments, not 0
functions.d:13: Error: function functions.g (int function(int a) p) is
not callable using argument types (int)
functions.d:13: Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (f()) of
type int to int function(int a)

Use "delegate" or "function" both for the argument type and return type.
