I recently discovered D's function literals and wrote a small test to explore them. The following code prints out a 15, then a 0. It seems to me that the second should be 64 and not 0. Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong?

module functionliteral;
import std.stdio;

static void main() {

    int[] values = [1,2,4,8];
writefln(Reduce(values, function int(int x, int y) { return x + y; })); writefln(Reduce(values, function int(int x, int y) { return x * y; }));
}

static int Reduce(int[] values, int function(int x, int y) operation) {
    int total;

That is:

total = 0

That's why in the second case it's like you are doing:

0*1*2*3*4

Well... 0*1*2*4*8


A reduce function normally takes the first value to use to reduce the others. So "total" would be an argument to your reduce function.


    foreach (int v; values)
        total = operation(total,v);
    return total;
}
