Szathmáry László honlapja @ DEIK | DLang / Type conversion

See also std.conv.

(1) type conversion
#include <stdio.h> int main() { int x = 3; int y = 2; // double result = x / y; // integer division double result = (double)x / (double)y; printf("result: %.2lf\n", result); return 0; }	import std.stdio; import std.conv; // to!double void main() { int x = 3; int y = 2; // double result = x / y; // integer division double result = double(x) / y; // double result = cast(double) x / y; // also works // double result = x.to!double / y; // also works writefln("result: %s", result); }

Output:

result: 1.5

Safe way

We get an exception if the conversion cannot be done.

(2) `to!<type>()`
def main(): print(float("3.14")) # 3.14 , as float print(float("6.78")) # 6.78 , as float print(int("42")) # 42 , as int print(str(1983)) # "1983" , as string	import std.stdio; import std.conv; void main() { writeln(to!double("3.14")); // 3.14 , as double writeln(to!float("6.78")); // 6.78 , as float writeln(to!int("42")); // 42 , as int writeln(to!string(1983)); // "1983" , as string }
