2) If you want to have a shape hierarchy, then you can start by
defining its interface and implement that interface by concrete
shape types. Drawing is ordinarily handled by member functions:

Hi Ali, I'm not the author but I have a question, in your second
example, let's say that sometimes it would be required to "draw"
with some scale factor, so (As a newbie) I would do something
like this:
interface Shape {
void draw();
void draw(float scale);
}
Then in Circle class:
void draw(float scale) {
writeln("This circle's radius is ", radius*scale);
}
void draw(){ draw(1); }
Then in Rectangular class:
void draw(float scale) {
writefln!"This rectangle's dimensions are
%sx%s."(width*scale,height*scale);
}
void draw(){ draw(1); }
So calling shape.draw() would draw with the original scale,
otherwise you could call as shape.draw(some_scale);
The problem is these are just 2 shapes and it could be much more,
so it would required to repeat all this.
In D there would be a better way to do such thing?
Thanks,
Matheus.
