Hello,

how can I define the range for the sum function which I want to

int[] a = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];

or the last 3?


In this case, you can simply slice array using   a[0..3] or 
a[$-3..$].


If you have a range you can use take() and/or drop()

void main()
{

int[] a = [1,2,3,4,5,6];

writeln(a[0..3]);
writeln(a[$-3..$]);
writeln(a.take(3));
writeln(a.drop(a.length-3));

}

First you slice the first/last 3, then you sum them.

first 3: a[0 .. 3].sum
last 3: a[$ - 3 .. $].sum
