Colin Grogan:
Reading the articles on array slicing its not clear if its
possible.
I presume Walter thinks that slicing with a stride is a not
common enough operation to put it into D. His choices on such
things are a bit arbitrary.
One way to do it:
import std.stdio, std.array, std.range;
void main() {
auto orig = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7];
auto sliceOdd = orig.stride(2).array;
sliceOdd.writeln;
auto sliceEven = orig[1..$].stride(2).array;
sliceEven.writeln;
}
stride() is just a function used with UFCS.
Don't use ".array" if you just need a lazy sequence.
