Is there a way to get the length of an array out of slice bracket

Just use .length: void main() { import std.stdio; auto a = new int[5]; auto b = a[]; writeln(a.length, " ", b.length); }

If you mean the length of the original array, no. Of course, the length of the slice is trivial: slice.length. The following article explains how slices don't know about other slices (including the original array): http://dlang.org/d-array-article.html Ali

Also, when slicing, you can use the dollar operator to get the length of a slice: auto arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]; auto slice = arr[$/2 .. $]; // the last half of the array, [3, 4]
