digitalmars.D.learn - Single type of a tuple return type function

Hi All,

   Request your help, on how o find the single type of a tuple 
return type function, eg,

auto Fn (){
Array!string a;
Array!int b;
Array!ulong c;
return tuple(a, b, c);
}

if we use "ReturnType!Fn" it gives us the output as 
(Array!string,Array!int, Array!ulong) but what is need is the 
return type of  each of the value as
a = Array!string; b = Array!int; c = Array!ulong

void main () {
ReturnType!Fn[0] Dcol;  //similar like this line
writeln(Dcol[]);
}

ReturnType!Fn[0] tries to give you the 0th field of the tuple, but as the error message indicates, you can't do that without an instance. What you want is the *type* of the field, as given by typeof: typeof(ReturnType!Fn[0]) Dcol; This can be made a bit simpler by noticing that ReturnType is unnecessary here: typeof(Fn()[0]) Dcol; However, if Fn() takes a bunch of complex parameters, this might not actually be simpler. -- Simen
