digitalmars.D.learn - What to use instead of array.join if RHS is not a range?

This is what I want:

struct S { int x; }

void main()
{
    S[] arr = [S(2), S(4), S(6)];
    S s = S(0);
    arr.join(s);  // fails here
    assert(arr == [S(2), S(0), S(4), S(0), S(6)]);
}

Calling join like that fails, specifically it fails because "s" is not
a forward range (I don't know why it's implemented like that..). Is
there some other function which can join with an element as a
separator?

This is not efficient, but it's useful to call it inside the post-condition of a more efficient version to test the results of the faster version: import std.stdio, std.array; // http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/archive/base/latest/doc/html/src/Data-List.html#intersperse T[] intersperse(T)(T[] items, T sep) pure nothrow { static T[] prependToAll(T[] items, T sep) pure nothrow { return items.empty ? [] : sep ~ (items.front ~ prependToAll(items[1 .. $], sep)); } return items.empty ? [] : items.front ~ prependToAll(items[1 .. $], sep); } void main() { static struct S { int x; } auto arr = [S(2), S(4), S(6)]; auto s = S(10); auto result = arr.intersperse(s); writeln(result); } Bye, bearophile

Better: [sep, items.front] ~ prependToAll(items[1 .. $], sep); Bye, bearophile
