bringToFront(InputRange, ForwardRange)(InputRangefront, ForwardRangeback)
if (isInputRange!InputRange && isForwardRange!ForwardRange); bringToFronttakes two rangesfrontandback, which may be of different types. Considering the concatenation offrontandbackone unified range,bringToFrontrotates that unified range such that all elements inbackare brought to the beginning of the unified range. The relative ordering of elements infrontandback, respectively, remains unchanged.ThebringToFrontfunction treats strings at the code unit level and it is not concerned with Unicode character integrity.bringToFrontis designed as a function for moving elements in ranges, not as a string function. Performs Ο(max(front.length, back.length)) evaluations of swap. ThebringToFrontfunction can rotate elements in one buffer left or right, swap buffers of equal length, and even move elements across disjoint buffers of different types and different lengths.Preconditions Either
frontandbackare disjoint, orbackis reachable fromfrontandfrontis not reachable from back.Parameters:InputRange frontan input range ForwardRange backa forward range Returns:The number of elements brought to the front, i.e., the length ofback.See Also:Examples:The simplest use ofbringToFrontis for rotating elements in a buffer. For example:auto arr = [4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3]; auto p = bringToFront(arr[0 .. 4], arr[4 .. $]); writeln(p); // arr.length - 4 writeln(arr); // [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
Examples:Thefrontrange may actually "step over" thebackrange. This is very useful with forward ranges that cannot compute comfortably right-bounded subranges like arr[0 .. 4] above. In the example below, r2 is a right subrange of r1.import std.algorithm.comparison : equal; import std.container : SList; import std.range.primitives : popFrontN; auto list = SList!(int)(4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2, 3); auto r1 = list[]; auto r2 = list[]; popFrontN(r2, 4); assert(equal(r2, [ 1, 2, 3 ])); bringToFront(r1, r2); assert(equal(list[], [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ]));
Examples:Elements can be swapped across ranges of different types:import std.algorithm.comparison : equal; import std.container : SList; auto list = SList!(int)(4, 5, 6, 7); auto vec = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; bringToFront(list[], vec); assert(equal(list[], [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ])); assert(equal(vec, [ 5, 6, 7 ]));
Examples:Unicode integrity is not preserved:import std.string : representation; auto ar = representation("a".dup); auto br = representation("ç".dup); bringToFront(ar, br); auto a = cast(char[]) ar; auto b = cast(char[]) br; // Illegal UTF-8 writeln(a); // "\303" // Illegal UTF-8 writeln(b); // "\247a"
- TargetRange
copy(SourceRange, TargetRange)(SourceRangesource, TargetRangetarget)
if (isInputRange!SourceRange && isOutputRange!(TargetRange, ElementType!SourceRange)); - Copies the content of
sourceintotargetand returns the remaining (unfilled) part oftarget.Preconditions
targetshall have enough room to accommodate the entirety ofsource.Parameters:SourceRange sourcean input range TargetRange targetan output range Returns:The unfilled part of targetExamples:int[] a = [ 1, 5 ]; int[] b = [ 9, 8 ]; int[] buf = new int[](a.length + b.length + 10); auto rem = a.copy(buf); // copy a into buf rem = b.copy(rem); // copy b into remainder of buf writeln(buf[0 .. a.length + b.length]); // [1, 5, 9, 8] assert(rem.length == 10); // unused slots in buf
Examples:As long as the target range elements support assignment from source range elements, different types of ranges are accepted:float[] src = [ 1.0f, 5 ]; double[] dest = new double[src.length]; src.copy(dest);
Examples:To copy at most n elements from a range, you may want to use std.range.take:import std.range; int[] src = [ 1, 5, 8, 9, 10 ]; auto dest = new int[](3); src.take(dest.length).copy(dest); writeln(dest); // [1, 5, 8]
Examples:To copy just those elements from a range that satisfy a predicate, use filter:import std.algorithm.iteration : filter; int[] src = [ 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 0 ]; auto dest = new int[src.length]; auto rem = src .filter!(a => (a & 1) == 1) .copy(dest); writeln(dest[0 .. $ - rem.length]); // [1, 5, 9, 1]
Examples:std.range.retro can be used to achieve behavior similar to STL's copy_backward':import std.algorithm, std.range; int[] src = [1, 2, 4]; int[] dest = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0]; src.retro.copy(dest.retro); writeln(dest); // [0, 0, 1, 2, 4]

rangewith their .init value. Assumes that the elements of the range are uninitialized.Parameters:Range rangeAn input range that exposes references to its elements and has assignable elements See Also:Examples:import core.stdc.stdlib : malloc, free; struct S { int a = 10; } auto s = (cast(S*) malloc(5 * S.sizeof))[0 .. 5]; initializeAll(s); writeln(s); // [S(10), S(10), S(10), S(10), S(10)] scope(exit) free(s.ptr);
- void
move(T)(ref Tsource, ref Ttarget);
Tmove(T)(return ref scope Tsource); - Moves
sourceintotarget, via a destructive copy when necessary.If T is a struct with a destructor or postblit defined, source is reset to its .init value after it is moved into target, otherwise it is left unchanged.Preconditions If source has internal pointers that point to itself and doesn't define opPostMove, it cannot be moved, and will trigger an assertion failure.
Parameters:T sourceData to copy. T targetWhere to copy into. The destructor, if any, is invoked before the copy is performed. Examples:For non-struct types,movejust performstarget=source:Object obj1 = new Object; Object obj2 = obj1; Object obj3; move(obj2, obj3); assert(obj3 is obj1); // obj2 unchanged assert(obj2 is obj1);
Examples:// Structs without destructors are simply copied struct S1 { int a = 1; int b = 2; } S1 s11 = { 10, 11 }; S1 s12; move(s11, s12); writeln(s12); // S1(10, 11) writeln(s11); // s12 // But structs with destructors or postblits are reset to their .init value // after copying to the target. struct S2 { int a = 1; int b = 2; ~this() pure nothrow @safe @nogc { } } S2 s21 = { 3, 4 }; S2 s22; move(s21, s22); writeln(s21); // S2(1, 2) writeln(s22); // S2(3, 4)
Examples:Non-copyable structs can still be moved:struct S { int a = 1; @disable this(this); ~this() pure nothrow @safe @nogc {} } S s1; s1.a = 2; S s2 = move(s1); writeln(s1.a); // 1 writeln(s2.a); // 2
Examples:opPostMove will be called if defined:struct S { int a; void opPostMove(const ref S old) { writeln(a); // old.a a++; } } S s1; s1.a = 41; S s2 = move(s1); writeln(s2.a); // 42
- pure @system void
moveEmplace(T)(ref Tsource, ref Ttarget); - Similar to move but assumes
targetis uninitialized.

tgtare uninitialized.

- enum
SwapStrategy: int; - Defines the swapping strategy for algorithms that need to swap elements in a range (such as partition and sort). The strategy concerns the swapping of elements that are not the core concern of the algorithm. For example, consider an algorithm that sorts [ "abc", "b", "aBc" ] according to toUpper(a) < toUpper(b). That algorithm might choose to swap the two equivalent strings "abc" and "aBc". That does not affect the sorting since both ["abc", "aBc", "b" ] and [ "aBc", "abc", "b" ] are valid outcomes.Some situations require that the algorithm must NOT ever change the relative ordering of equivalent elements (in the example above, only [ "abc", "aBc", "b" ] would be the correct result). Such algorithms are called stable. If the ordering algorithm may swap equivalent elements discretionarily, the ordering is called unstable. Yet another class of algorithms may choose an intermediate tradeoff by being stable only on a well-defined subrange of the range. There is no established terminology for such behavior; this library calls it semistable. Generally, the stable ordering strategy may be more costly in time and/or space than the other two because it imposes additional constraints. Similarly, semistable may be costlier than unstable. As (semi-)stability is not needed very often, the ordering algorithms in this module parameterized by
SwapStrategyall chooseSwapStrategy.unstable as the default.Examples:int[] a = [0, 1, 2, 3]; writeln(remove!(SwapStrategy.stable)(a, 1)); // [0, 2, 3] a = [0, 1, 2, 3]; writeln(remove!(SwapStrategy.unstable)(a, 1)); // [0, 3, 2]
Examples:import std.algorithm.sorting : partition; // Put stuff greater than 3 on the left auto arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]; writeln(partition!(a => a > 3, SwapStrategy.stable)(arr)); // [1, 2, 3] writeln(arr); // [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1, 2, 3] arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]; writeln(partition!(a => a > 3, SwapStrategy.semistable)(arr)); // [2, 3, 1] writeln(arr); // [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 2, 3, 1] arr = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]; writeln(partition!(a => a > 3, SwapStrategy.unstable)(arr)); // [3, 2, 1] writeln(arr); // [10, 9, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 3, 2, 1]
unstable- Allows freely swapping of elements as long as the output satisfies the algorithm's requirements.
semistable- In algorithms partitioning ranges in two, preserve relative ordering of elements only to the left of the partition point.
stable- Preserve the relative ordering of elements to the largest extent allowed by the algorithm's requirements.
- Range
remove(SwapStrategy s = SwapStrategy.stable, Range, Offset...)(Rangerange, Offsetoffset)
if (Offset.length >= 1 && allSatisfy!(isValidIntegralTuple, Offset)); - Eliminates elements at given offsets from
rangeand returns the shortened range.For example, here is how to remove a single element from an array:string[] a = [ "a", "b", "c", "d" ]; a = a.remove(1); // remove element at offset 1 assert(a == [ "a", "c", "d"]);
Note thatremovedoes not change the length of the original range directly; instead, it returns the shortened range. If its return value is not assigned to the original range, the original range will retain its original length, though its contents will have changed:int[] a = [ 3, 5, 7, 8 ]; assert(remove(a, 1) == [ 3, 7, 8 ]); assert(a == [ 3, 7, 8, 8 ]);
The element at offset 1 has been removed and the rest of the elements have shifted up to fill its place, however, the original array remains of the same length. This is because all functions in std.algorithm only change content, not topology. The value 8 is repeated because move was invoked to rearrange elements, and on integers move simply copies the source to the destination. To replace a with the effect of the removal, simply assign the slice returned byremoveto it, as shown in the first example. Multiple indices can be passed intoremove. In that case, elements at the respective indices are all removed. The indices must be passed in increasing order, otherwise an exception occurs.int[] a = [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]; assert(remove(a, 1, 3, 5) == [ 0, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]);
(Note that all indices refer to slots in the original array, not in the array as it is being progressively shortened.) Tuples of two integral offsets can be used to remove an indices range:int[] a = [ 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]; assert(remove(a, 1, tuple(1, 3), 9) == [ 3, 6, 7 ]);
The tuple passes in a range closed to the left and open to the right (consistent with built-in slices), e.g. tuple(1, 3) means indices 1 and 2 but not 3. Finally, any combination of integral offsets and tuples composed of two integral offsets can be passed in:int[] a = [ 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 ]; assert(remove(a, 1, tuple(3, 5), 9) == [ 0, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 ]);
In this case, the slots at positions 1, 3, 4, and 9 are removed from the array. If the need is to remove some elements in the range but the order of the remaining elements does not have to be preserved, you may want to pass SwapStrategy.unstable toremove.int[] a = [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ]; assert(remove!(SwapStrategy.unstable)(a, 1) == [ 0, 3, 2 ]);
In the case above, the element at slot 1 is removed, but replaced with the last element of the range. Taking advantage of the relaxation of the stability requirement,removemoved elements from the end of the array over the slots to be removed. This way there is less data movement to be done which improves the execution time of the function. The functionremoveworks on bidirectional ranges that have assignable lvalue elements. The moving strategy is (listed from fastest to slowest):- If s == SwapStrategy.unstable && isRandomAccessRange!Range && hasLength!Range && hasLvalueElements!Range, then elements are moved from the end of the range into the slots to be filled. In this case, the absolute minimum of moves is performed.
- Otherwise, if s ==
SwapStrategy.unstable && isBidirectionalRange!Range && hasLength!Range
&& hasLvalueElements!Range, then elements are still moved from the
end of the range, but time is spent on advancing between slots by repeated
calls to
range.popFront. - Otherwise, elements are moved
incrementally towards the front of
range; a given element is never moved several times, but more elements are moved than in the previous cases.
Parameters:s a SwapStrategy to determine if the original order needs to be preserved Range rangea bidirectional range with a length member Offset offsetwhich element(s) to remove Returns:A range containing all of the elements of range with offset removed. - Range
remove(alias pred, SwapStrategy s = SwapStrategy.stable, Range)(Rangerange); - Reduces the length of the bidirectional range
rangeby removing elements that satisfy pred. If s = SwapStrategy.unstable, elements are moved from the right end of the range over the elements to eliminate. If s = SwapStrategy.stable (the default), elements are moved progressively to front such that their relative order is preserved. Returns the filtered range.Parameters:Range rangea bidirectional ranges with lvalue elements or mutable character arrays Returns:the range with all of the elements where pred is true removedExamples:static immutable base = [1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 5, 2]; int[] arr = base[].dup; // using a string-based predicate writeln(remove!("a == 2")(arr)); // [1, 3, 4, 5] // The original array contents have been modified, // so we need to reset it to its original state. // The length is unmodified however. arr[] = base[]; // using a lambda predicate writeln(remove!(a => a == 2)(arr)); // [1, 3, 4, 5]
- Range
reverse(Range)(Ranger)
if (isBidirectionalRange!Range && (hasSwappableElements!Range || hasAssignableElements!Range && hasLength!Range && isRandomAccessRange!Range || isNarrowString!Range && isAssignable!(ElementType!Range))); - Reverses
rin-place. Performsr.length / 2 evaluations of swap. UTF sequences consisting of multiple code units are preserved properly.Parameters:Range ra bidirectional range with either swappable elements, a random access range with a length member, or a narrow string Returns:rNote When passing a string with unicode modifiers on characters, such as \u0301, this function will not properly keep the position of the modifier. For example, reversing ba\u0301d ("bád") will result in d\u0301ab ("d́ab") instead of da\u0301b ("dáb").
See Also:std.range.retro for a lazy reverse without changingrExamples:int[] arr = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; writeln(arr.reverse); // [3, 2, 1]
Examples:char[] arr = "hello\U00010143\u0100\U00010143".dup; writeln(arr.reverse); // "\U00010143\u0100\U00010143olleh"

RangestripRight(alias pred, Range)(Rangerange)
if (isBidirectionalRange!Range && is(typeof(pred(range.back)) : bool)); - The strip group of functions allow stripping of either leading, trailing, or both leading and trailing elements.The
stripLeftfunction will strip the front of the range, thestripRightfunction will strip the back of the range, while thestripfunction will strip both the front and back of the range. Note that thestripandstripRightfunctions require the range to be a BidirectionalRange range. All of these functions come in two varieties: one takes a target element, where the range will be stripped as long as this element can be found. The other takes a lambda predicate, where the range will be stripped as long as the predicate returns true.Parameters:Range rangea bidirectional range or input range E elementthe elements to remove Returns:a Range with all of range except element at the start and endExamples:Strip leading and trailing elements equal to the target element.writeln(" foobar ".strip(' ')); // "foobar" writeln("00223.444500".strip('0')); // "223.4445" writeln("ëëêéüŗōpéêëë".strip('ë')); // "êéüŗōpéê" writeln([1, 1, 0, 1, 1].strip(1)); // [0] writeln([0.0, 0.01, 0.01, 0.0].strip(0).length); // 2

swapRanges(InputRange1, InputRange2)(InputRange1r1, InputRange2r2)
if (hasSwappableElements!InputRange1 && hasSwappableElements!InputRange2 && is(ElementType!InputRange1 == ElementType!InputRange2)); - Swaps all elements of
r1with successive elements inr2. Returns a tuple containing the remainder portions ofr1and r2 that were not swapped (one of them will be empty). The ranges may be of different types but must have the same element type and support swapping.Parameters:InputRange1 r1an input range with swappable elements InputRange2 r2an input range with swappable elements Returns:Tuple containing the remainder portions of r1 and r2 that were not swappedExamples:import std.range : empty; int[] a = [ 100, 101, 102, 103 ]; int[] b = [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ]; auto c = swapRanges(a[1 .. 3], b[2 .. 4]); assert(c[0].empty && c[1].empty); writeln(a); // [100, 2, 3, 103] writeln(b); // [0, 1, 101, 102]
