Or does it depend on the context? one is better than another in the sense that blue is better than green (or vice versa). ;-) don't count on that trailing zero, and don't count on empty string being null or points to somewhere. `.length` is all that matters. > Also as an aside (and I'm not trying to be flippant here), aren't > all strings literals? I mean, can someone give me an example of > a string non-literal? string foo () { import std.conv; string s; foreach (i; 0..10) s ~= to!string(i); return s; } this function returns string, but that string is in no way built from literal. note that it's string *contents* are immutable, not the whole string structure. there is a difference between `immutable(char[])` and `immutable(char)[]`. that is why you can use `~=` on strings.
