Forgot to mention I tried that. FYI, the time function doesn't take a 'number'. It takes a pointer to a time_t. If the pointer is non-null, the function stores the returned value in the memory to which the argument points. It's common to call the function with a null parameter. In C, 0 is often used in code to represent null. This is not supported in D. So you have to call the function using the null keyword in place of the 0: time(null). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
