Greetings!

Yes, it's me, your favorite Dominican learning D. :-)

Ok, so I need to change reals to integers and integers to real, int to long,
etc.  I have search through digitalmars.com and found nothing about this.  I did
see the phobos std.boxer, which is not working for me.  For example, this
program,

import std.stdio;
import std.math;
import std.string;
import std.boxer;
real toReal(int i)
{
Box b = box(i);
real r = unbox!(real)(b);
return r;
}
int toInt(real r)
{
Box b = box(r);
int i = unbox!(int)(b);
return i;
}
void main()
{
int i = 45; 
real r = 12.45;
writefln(i," ",r);
writefln(toReal(i)," ",toInt(r));
}

does not compile.  Here is the error:

jic 19:08:52-> build totypes.d 
c:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe
totypes,totypes.exe,,user32+kernel32,totypes.def/noi;

totypes.obj(totypes) 
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _assert_3std5boxer
--- errorlevel 1

What are the libraries that I have to do this or do I need to write my own?

thanks,

Well, how about simply using the cast() operator?

josé, to compile using the std.boxer you should always use the "-release"
commandline switch...but in your conversion example above doesn't appear to need
the std.boxer for your 'int to real' / 'real to int' example.

So, I put a little something together below that I hope you'll find helpful:








































Output:
---------
C:\dmd>dmd ex072205.d
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe ex072205,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

C:\dmd>ex072205
Normal: int=45 real=12.45
Conversion: int=45 real=12

C:\dmd>

P.S. If you're still looking into some useful functions to use with the
std.boxer module you can check out my Box-Xtras Support section (link below).
