Hi,

  Can any one help me on the below program, as I need the missing 
element for array "a" to be printed when compared with array "b"

Program:

import std.stdio, std.array, std.algorithm;
string[] a = ["test1", "test2", "test4"];
string[] b = ["test2", "test4"];
void main ()
{
auto m = mismatch(a,b);
writeln(m[0]);
writeln(m[1]);
}

Output:
["test1", "test2", "test4"]
["test2", "test4"]

Required output: "test1"

The mismatch function doesn't work how your expecting it to. It 
compares the ith element in a with the ith element in b, until 
they encounter an element that is not equal. It then returns all 
elements including and beyond i, for both arrays. In this case 
the first element does not match, and therefore it returns the 
entire contents of both arrays.

Hi,

  I tried the setDifference but does seem to be working as expected

import std.stdio, std.array, std.algorithm;
string[] a = ["test4", "test3", "test2", "test1"];
string[] b = ["test2", "test4"];
void main ()
{
auto m = setDifference(a,b);
writeln(m);
}

Output : Required output ["test3", "test1"]

["test3", "test2", "test1"]

 From the documentation of setDifference: "The two ranges are 
assumed to be sorted by less."

In other words, you will need to sort your ranges first. Either 
pre-sort them as

     string[] a = ["test1", "test2", "test3", "test4"];
     string[] b = ["test2", "test4"]';

or call setDifference(a.sort(), b.sort()).
