digitalmars.D - Delegate

Hi
I have a problem:

What's wrong about this code?
Code:

import std.stdio;

int main() {
	writefln("%f", add(100, 786, 56.0));
	return 0;
}

double add(double delegate()[] dgs...) {
	double result = 0;
	foreach(double delegate() dg; dgs) {
		result += dg;
	}
	return result;
}

Or a better question is: How can I get the value out of the delegate?

Greetings Fabian Claßen

PS: I am a beginner :P

:
                result +=3D dg;
Just change that line to "result +=3D dg();". A delegate is like a function; you call it to get the value.

Oh thank you. I see. That's a stupid mistake of mine :D But I love D.

Great Stuff. We where all at this point at some time. Its fine that you posted to this group. However you might try posting your questions to D.learn next time, simply so other people who have the same problem can easily find the solution. ;) -Joel

I don't understand your code, sorry. It seems to me that the argument you supplied to add() is a list of doubles and not a list of delegates. -- Derek Parnell Melbourne, Australia skype: derek.j.parnell

I was a bit surprized at first, too, but any value is indeed a lazy delegate that returns itself.

It's legal. If you have a typesafe variadic array of delegates, you can call the function as if it took a bunch of lazy parameters.

I am learning D. But ... I worked with other programming languages before and so I learn D with a book for experienced programmers. My learning concept is like: reading ... memorizing ... coding So there was a very similar code in the book and I tried to write this code by heart. That's only for your information why I've writen the code like this. The function gets a list of lazy arguments and summarizes the arguments.
