Someone please tell me how, for I am a newbie and don't know any
solutions even to this very simple problem. As I learned dlang
using the Dlang tour page, I stuck at the alias & Strings page. I
have tried to compile the following simple code many times but
still get the same error both from dmd and gdc. They both say that
<----------------------------------------------------
string.d:9:9: error: module string is used as a type
string str = "This is a test.";
---------------------------------------------------->
whenever I tried compiling this code below
<------------------------------------------
import std.stdio;
import std.string;
void main()
{
//alias string = immutable(char)[];
string str = "This is a test.";
}
------------------------------------------->
However, when I uncomment the alias~ line above,
both dmd and gdc can compile the code. I thought
that the string object is already defined in the
package or somewhere beforehand, but am I wrong?
