Seany, you are on the right track for the function declaration, I think the following code does what you are looking for:

import std.stdio;

void main() {
        int[4] myArray;
        assign(myArray, 5);
        writeln(myArray);              //prints [5, 5, 5, 5]
}

void assign(T)(T[] arr, T val)
{
        for(int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++)
        {
                arr[i] = val;
        }
}

D is great because the template system infers what type you are passing without having to explicitly instantiate the template first, i.e. assign!(int)(myArray, 5).


thank you, precisely this is what i was looking for, any peculiar pitfalls to be aware of?
