Yeah I bought the book recently and ran into an issue very
quickly into it. But this error I keep getting keeps bugging me.
Could really use an explanation on why its not compiling. Here is
the code.
/*
Compute heights in centimeters for a range of heights
expressed in feet and inches
*/
import std.stdio;
void main() {
// values unlikely to change soon
immutable inchPerFoot = 12;
immutable cmPerInch = 2.54;
// loop'n write
foreach (feet; 5 .. 7) {
foreach (inches; 0 .. inchPerFoot) {
writeln(feet, "'", inches, "''\t",
(feet * inchPerFoot + inches) * cmPerInch);
}
}
}
Here is the error I keep getting every time I try to compile:
(13): found '..' when expecting ')'
(13): found ')' when expecting ';' following statement
(14): found '..' when expecting ')'
(14): found ')' when expecting ';' following statement

This compiles and runs on my system.
Are you using D1? Please use the latest D (a.k.a D2) compiler. The book
does *not* cover D1 at all.
If you are, please give more detail (OS, which compiler you are using).

Are you using the D1 compiler..? It works on dmd 2.057,8 and 9 at least.
Just write dmd, and look at the top for the compiler version.

I feel like such an idiot.don't worry. you're not the first and not the last being confused by this.

Mark:look at that. it says D1. I downloaded both D1 and D2. Better get rid of D1 then. I feel like such an idiot. THank you for the help.You aren't an idiot, it's not your fault. In some months D1 compilers will be buried deeply in some sites, so your problem will (mostly) stop happening to new people. Having a well debugged compiler is most important, but also such simple "packaging/access" issue shouldn't be ignored. Bye, bearophile

I made sure I downloaded D2 but found a code snippet for D1 (I think). I'm starting to realize this is probably an issue with free examples, tutorials, etc. The code isn't posted with comments or context as how it will compile. If I ever start offering my code on the web I'm going to put in the first comment line of the source code what context it compiled and ran under. e.g. DMD v2.058/Phobos/Win32/etc. Then if some newbie slacker like us is looking at the code 2 years from now, he will have some idea of whether he should try it. And if it doesn't compile, he can say "well that example was v2.058/Win32 and this is V4.01/Linux64 that I am running." ....and not get frustrated.
