- template
to
(T) - The
to
template converts a value from one type to another. The source type is deduced and the target type must be specified, for example the expressionto
!int(42.0) converts the number 42 from double to int. The conversion is "safe", i.e., it checks for overflow;to
!int(4.2e10) would throw the ConvOverflowException exception. Overflow checks are only inserted when necessary, e.g.,to
!double(42) does not do any checking because any int fits in a double.Conversions from string to numeric types differ from the C equivalents atoi() and atol() by checking for overflow and not allowing whitespace. For conversion of strings to signed types, the grammar recognized is:Integer: Sign UnsignedInteger UnsignedInteger Sign: + -
For conversion to unsigned types, the grammar recognized is:UnsignedInteger: DecimalDigit DecimalDigit UnsignedInteger
Examples:Converting a value to its own type (useful mostly for generic code) simply returns its argument.int a = 42; int b = to!int(a); double c = to!double(3.14); // c is double with value 3.14
Examples:Converting among numeric types is a safe way to cast them around. Conversions from floating-point types to integral types allow loss of precision (the fractional part of a floating-point number). The conversion is truncating towards zero, the same way a cast would truncate. (To round a floating point value when casting to an integral, use roundTo.)import std.exception : assertThrown; int a = 420; writeln(to!long(a)); // a assertThrown!ConvOverflowException(to!byte(a)); writeln(to!int(4.2e6)); // 4200000 assertThrown!ConvOverflowException(to!uint(-3.14)); writeln(to!uint(3.14)); // 3 writeln(to!uint(3.99)); // 3 writeln(to!int(-3.99)); // -3
Examples:When converting strings to numeric types, note that D hexadecimal and binary literals are not handled. Neither the prefixes that indicate the base, nor the horizontal bar used to separate groups of digits are recognized. This also applies to the suffixes that indicate the type. To work around this, you can specify a radix for conversions involving numbers.auto str = to!string(42, 16); writeln(str); // "2A" auto i = to!int(str, 16); writeln(i); // 42
Examples:Conversions from integral types to floating-point types always succeed, but might lose accuracy. The largest integers with a predecessor representable in floating-point format are 2^24-1 for float, 2^53-1 for double, and 2^64-1 for real (when real is 80-bit, e.g. on Intel machines).// 2^24 - 1, largest proper integer representable as float int a = 16_777_215; writeln(to!int(to!float(a))); // a writeln(to!int(to!float(-a))); // -a
Examples:Conversion from string types to char types enforces the input to consist of a single code point, and said code point must fit in the target type. Otherwise, ConvException is thrown.import std.exception : assertThrown; writeln(to!char("a")); // 'a' assertThrown(to!char("ñ")); // 'ñ' does not fit into a char writeln(to!wchar("ñ")); // 'ñ' assertThrown(to!wchar("😃")); // '😃' does not fit into a wchar writeln(to!dchar("😃")); // '😃' // Using wstring or dstring as source type does not affect the result writeln(to!char("a"w)); // 'a' writeln(to!char("a"d)); // 'a' // Two code points cannot be converted to a single one assertThrown(to!char("ab"));
Examples:Converting an array to another array type works by converting each element in turn. Associative arrays can be converted to associative arrays as long as keys and values can in turn be converted.import std.string : split; int[] a = [1, 2, 3]; auto b = to!(float[])(a); writeln(b); // [1.0f, 2, 3] string str = "1 2 3 4 5 6"; auto numbers = to!(double[])(split(str)); writeln(numbers); // [1.0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] int[string] c; c["a"] = 1; c["b"] = 2; auto d = to!(double[wstring])(c); assert(d["a"w] == 1 && d["b"w] == 2);
Examples:Conversions operate transitively, meaning that they work on arrays and associative arrays of any complexity. This conversion works becauseto
!short applies to an int,to
!wstring applies to a string,to
!string applies to a double, andto
!(double[]) applies to an int[]. The conversion might throw an exception becauseto
!short might fail the range check.int[string][double[int[]]] a; auto b = to!(short[wstring][string[double[]]])(a);
Examples:Object-to-object conversions by dynamic casting throw exception when the source is non-null and the target is null.import std.exception : assertThrown; // Testing object conversions class A {} class B : A {} class C : A {} A a1 = new A, a2 = new B, a3 = new C; assert(to!B(a2) is a2); assert(to!C(a3) is a3); assertThrown!ConvException(to!B(a3));
Examples:Stringize conversion from all types is supported.- String to string conversion works for any two string types having (char, wchar, dchar) character widths and any combination of qualifiers (mutable, const, or immutable).
- Converts array (other than strings) to string.
Each element is converted by calling
to
!T. - Associative array to string conversion.
Each element is converted by calling
to
!T. - Object to string conversion calls toString against the object or returns "null" if the object is null.
- Struct to string conversion calls toString against the struct if it is defined.
- For structs that do not define toString, the conversion to string produces the list of fields.
- Enumerated types are converted to strings as their symbolic names.
- Boolean values are converted to "true" or "false".
- char, wchar, dchar to a string type.
- Unsigned or signed integers to strings.
- [special case]
- Convert integral value to string in radix radix. radix must be a value from 2 to 36. value is treated as a signed value only if radix is 10. The characters A through Z are used to represent values 10 through 36 and their case is determined by the letterCase parameter.
- All floating point types to all string types.
- Pointer to string conversions convert the pointer to a size_t value. If pointer is char*, treat it as C-style strings. In that case, this function is @system.
// Conversion representing dynamic/static array with string long[] a = [ 1, 3, 5 ]; writeln(to!string(a)); // "[1, 3, 5]" // Conversion representing associative array with string int[string] associativeArray = ["0":1, "1":2]; assert(to!string(associativeArray) == `["0":1, "1":2]` || to!string(associativeArray) == `["1":2, "0":1]`); // char* to string conversion writeln(to!string(cast(char*)null)); // "" writeln(to!string("foo\0".ptr)); // "foo" // Conversion reinterpreting void array to string auto w = "abcx"w; const(void)[] b = w; writeln(b.length); // 8 auto c = to!(wchar[])(b); writeln(c); // "abcx"
Examples:Strings can be converted to enum types. The enum member with the same name as the input string is returned. The comparison is case-sensitive. A ConvException is thrown if the enum does not have the specified member.import std.exception : assertThrown; enum E { a, b, c } writeln(to!E("a")); // E.a writeln(to!E("b")); // E.b assertThrown!ConvException(to!E("A"));
- template
roundTo
(Target) - Rounded conversion from floating point to integral.Rounded conversions do not work with non-integral target types.Examples:
writeln(roundTo!int(3.14)); // 3 writeln(roundTo!int(3.49)); // 3 writeln(roundTo!int(3.5)); // 4 writeln(roundTo!int(3.999)); // 4 writeln(roundTo!int(-3.14)); // -3 writeln(roundTo!int(-3.49)); // -3 writeln(roundTo!int(-3.5)); // -4 writeln(roundTo!int(-3.999)); // -4 writeln(roundTo!(const int)(to!(const double)(-3.999))); // -4

if (is(immutable(Target) == immutable(bool)) && isInputRange!Source && isSomeChar!(ElementType!Source)); - The
parse
family of functions works quite like the to family, except that:- It only works with character ranges as input.
- It takes the input by reference. This means that rvalues (such as string literals) are not accepted: use to instead.
- It advances the input to the position following the conversion.
- It does not throw if it could not convert the entire input.
This overload parses a bool from a character input range.Parameters:Target the boolean type to convert to Source source

- A tuple containing a bool and a size_t if doCount is set to Yes.doCount
Throws:A ConvException if the range does not represent a bool.Note All character input range conversions using to are forwarded to
parse
and do not require lvalues.Examples:import std.typecons : Flag, Yes, No; auto s = "true"; bool b = parse!bool(s); assert(b); auto s2 = "true"; bool b2 = parse!(bool, string, No.doCount)(s2); assert(b2); auto s3 = "true"; auto b3 = parse!(bool, string, Yes.doCount)(s3); assert(b3.data && b3.count == 4); auto s4 = "falSE"; auto b4 = parse!(bool, string, Yes.doCount)(s4); assert(!b4.data && b4.count == 5);

!"177" for 127 represented in octal (same as 0177 in C).The rules for strings are the usual for literals: If it can fit in an int, it is an int. Otherwise, it is a long. But, if the user specifically asks for a long with the L suffix, always give the long. Give an unsigned iff it is asked for with the U or u suffix. Octals created from integers preserve the type of the passed-in integral.See Also:parse for parsing octal strings at runtime.Examples:// Same as 0177 auto a = octal!177; // octal is a compile-time device enum b = octal!160; // Create an unsigned octal auto c = octal!"1_000_000u"; // Leading zeros are allowed when converting from a string auto d = octal!"0001_200_000";

- template
castFrom
(From) - A wrapper on top of the built-in cast operator that allows one to restrict casting of the original type of the value.A common issue with using a raw cast is that it may silently continue to compile even if the value's type has changed during refactoring, which breaks the initial assumption about the cast.Parameters:
From The type to cast from. The programmer must ensure it is legal to make this cast. Examples:// Regular cast, which has been verified to be legal by the programmer: { long x; auto y = cast(int) x; } // However this will still compile if 'x' is changed to be a pointer: { long* x; auto y = cast(int) x; } // castFrom provides a more reliable alternative to casting: { long x; auto y = castFrom!long.to!int(x); } // Changing the type of 'x' will now issue a compiler error, // allowing bad casts to be caught before it's too late: { long* x; static assert( !__traits(compiles, castFrom!long.to!int(x)) ); // if cast is still needed, must be changed to: auto y = castFrom!(long*).to!int(x); }

templatehexString
(dstring hexData) if (hexData.isHexLiteral) - Converts a hex literal to a string at compile time.Takes a string made of hexadecimal digits and returns the matching string by converting each pair of digits to a character. The input string can also include white characters, which can be used to keep the literal string readable in the source code. The function is intended to replace the hexadecimal literal strings starting with 'x', which could be removed to simplify the core language.Parameters:

if ((radix == 2 || radix == 8 || radix == 10 || radix == 16) && isIntegral!T && (radix == 10 || isUnsigned!T)); - Convert integer to a range of characters. Intended to be lightweight and fast.Parameters:
radix 2, 8, 10, 16 Char character type for output letterCase lower for deadbeef, upper for DEADBEEF T value
integer to convert. Can be ubyte, ushort, uint or ulong. If radix is 10, can also be byte, short, int or long. Returns:Random access range with slicing and everythingExamples:import std.algorithm.comparison : equal; assert(toChars(1).equal("1")); assert(toChars(1_000_000).equal("1000000")); assert(toChars!(2)(2U).equal("10")); assert(toChars!(16)(255U).equal("ff")); assert(toChars!(16, char, LetterCase.upper)(255U).equal("FF"));
