What is the compiler complaining about?
Inside func2 I create an input value for func1 and then assign
func1's 4 outputs to named variable. That's where the problems
arise. func1 does some math based on the input and generates 4
outputs.
I can't do (a, b, c,d) = func1(i) directly.
What do I do to assign the output of func1 to the individual
variables?

Dub importPath and sourcePath variables
Hello,
I am having a problem working with custom build types in Dub.
For my project, when I perform a regular build, all of my source
code is contained in ./source or ~/.dub/packages/.
However, I want to specify a custom build type (called 'tests')
that imports modules from the additional directory ./tests.
Accordingly, my dub.json file is structured as follows:
{
"name": "q1dcfd",
"authors": [
"Tom Reddell", "Viv Bone"
],
"description" : "Quasi One Dimensional Compressible Flow
Dynamics",
"copyright" : "Copyright © 2018, Tom Reddell",
"license" : "MIT",
"targetType" : "executable",
"sourceFiles" : ["$CPD/source/cpp_layer.o",
"$CPD/source/libCoolProp.a"],
"excludedSourceFiles" : ["source/experimental/*"],
"dependencies": {
"mir" : "~>3.2.0",
"mir-algorithm" : "~>3.4.14",
"lubeck": "~>1.1.2",
"coolprop" : "*"
},
"buildTypes" : {
"tests" : {
"buildOptions": ["unittests", "debugMode"],
"importPaths" : ["tests/", "source/"],
"sourcePaths" : ["tests/", "source/"],
"excludedSourceFiles" : ["source/experimental/*"]
}
}
}
When I manually assign my "importPaths" and "sourcePaths"
variables during a "tests" build, I overwrite the values in these
variables that have been automatically added due to my
dependencies, causing the build to fail.
Is there a way that I can append "tests" to importPaths and
sourcePaths, rather than overwriting them completely?
Regards,
Viv

I mean the coding in the while loop is executed twice.
If I start application A in the console using ```dmd -run a.d```
the readln functions are waiting on stdin input in first and
second execution of the while logic.
But if application A is called from application B then in the
second execution of the while loop, the readln statements just
return empty strings.
Do I have to clear some buffers?

Hi,

import std;
void main()
{
while(true)
{
string enemy1 = readln.strip;
int dist1 = to!int(readln.strip);
string enemy2 = readln.strip;
int dist2 = to!int(readln.strip);
writeln((dist1 < dist2) ? enemy1 : enemy2);
stdout.flush();
}
}

This applications will be called by a second application:
---b.d

void main()
{
auto p = pipeShell("a", Redirect.all);
p.stdin.writeln("e1");
p.stdin.writeln("10");
p.stdin.writeln("e2");
p.stdin.writeln("9");
p.stdin.flush();
p.stdout.readln();
import core.thread: Thread;
import core.time: seconds;
Thread.sleep(3.seconds);
}
---
I compile a.d using command ```dmd a.d``` and run b.d using
command ```dmd -run b.d```
In application a.d the first "while round" will succeed as

To quote Knuth: People who are more than casually interested in computers should have at least some idea of what the underlying hardware is like. Otherwise the programs they write will be pretty weird. -- D. Knuth Learning assembly language will give you an intrinsic understanding of what actually happens at the machine level, which will guide your high-level designs later. But caveat emptor: you don't want to get stuck in the "rut" of thinking in assembly language, because it can lead to missing the forest for the trees sometimes. So to balance that, you want to learn also a very high-level language that makes you think on a whole different level: I recommend Haskell or Lisp after you learn assembly language. They are very different from "mainstream" imperative languages, but they really strip away all the frills and lay bare the essentials of algorithms and computation. Even if you end up working mainly with an imperative language later, the experience of learning a functional language like Haskell or Lisp will help you think about algorithms in a much clearer and deeper way. You'll be able to identify patterns where others lose their way in details, and your code will be much better structured and maintainable. > > It's the same with basic computer use.

[...] Only a month? :-D I've been doing exactly this for the last 20 years, and now I don't even dream of using a GUI anymore. The Unix command line is far more powerful and expressive, and I can get so much more done without wasting time switching my hand between the rodent and the keyboard. It forces me to learn command-line utilities that don't require ridiculous amounts of RAM and 40 seconds just to start up, and that has accelerated my productivity by orders of magnitude. On top of that, command-line programs are scriptable, meaning once I know how to use it, I don't ever have to use it again because I'd write a script to do it for me. No more aneurysm-inducing clicking through endless nested menus and carpal tunnel syndrome; it's automation FTW!

Most of the best guys on this D forum falls into that category. C and C++ have steep learning curves, and tend to be better for professionals than amateurs. That does not mean C/C++ usage is what defines a pro. Even php, famous for being simple to learn but often hated by professionals, can be used professionally. I really want to know programming to the core not just tied to a language or just at the level of drag and drop or use a framework or library. Don't worry, learn to apply one language in practice and you'll usually figure out automatically how to apply any language you will learn. Well, sometimes when you transition to a new language you should learn new ways to do thing, because the new language is better suited for those than your old language. Famous example is that C programmers that transitioned to C++ or Java in the 90's were encouraged to start to thinking in object oriented manner. They did not strictly have to, as C++ and Java can be used for same programming stye as C, and C can do sort-of object-oriented programming, but object-oriented designs were (and are) so much easier to implement in the newer languages that in practice, object design should be used a lot more now than in the 70's. I will appreciate your help in this matter. I am ready to put in hard work.
