It's a really simple piece, but it shows %s, breaking from a loop from 
inside a switch, etc.

Nice, but just a little thing:

switch(toUpper(returned)) {
       case 'Y': break checkLoop;
       case 'H': {low=guess; break;}
       case 'L': {high=guess; break;}
       default: break;
}

PS: Yeah you can you tolower() too!

Thank you, however I feel that using the
case 'y','Y':
demonstrates another feature that C/C++ doesn't have. I'm aware of those 
two functions.
...although in the middle of testing this I realized that "guesses=0" 
should have been "guesses=1". Whoops.

Shouldn't it be dmd and not rdmd in the first line?

If you want it to be executable as a script, rdmd works just fine.

But is there any guarantee that rdmd will even be on the system? It seems much 
safer to me to use dmd, since dmd _will_ be there if you're programming in D, 
but rdmd may or may not be there.

Aah, whoops. I forgot about dmd -run.
I understand now, sorry and thank you. It would be better to use that. I 
was only slightly mixed up with how arguments are split in a shebang 

name of the file, not "x 1 2 3" as I had thought it had been, nor "x" 
"1" "2" "3")
Thank you for explaining your problem.

I think rdmd can be safely assumed to be alongside dmd. If our 
installers don't do that, they're in error.

I chose rdmd because I wanted to demonstrate direct running it directly, 
not building it that way.
Out of curiosity, though, is there a specific reason why I should have 
used dmd instead? Without switches, that would just build it...
Thank you,

guaranteed to be on your system if you're programming in D whereas rdmd might 
not be.

Probably a mistake, the extra arguments on the second writef() should be
moved to the first write().
