Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

Jay Norwood: I notice that if Suit and SuitShort have an enum with the same name, then you still have to fully qualify the enum names when using the with statement. So, for example, if spd in SuitShort was renamed spades, the first entry in the array initialization would have to be

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

Jay Norwood: enum Suit { spades, hearts=4, diamonds=10, clubs } foreach (i, member; EnumMembers!Suit) Here 'i' is the index of the enumeration type tuple. This code lacks the [] I added in my code, so your foreach is a static one. To tell them apart when I read the code I sometimes

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

I see comments about enums being somehow implemented as tuples, and comments about tuples somehow being implemented as structs, but I couldn't find examples of static initialization of arrays of either. Finally after playing around with it for a while, it appears this example below works for

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

Yes, thanks, that syntax does work for the initialization. The C syntax that failed for me was using the curly brace form shown in the following link. http://www.c4learn.com/c-programming/c-initializing-array-of-structure/ Also, I think I was trying forms of defining the struct and

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

Jay Norwood: If that is so, then the C initialization of an array with an unnamed struct type, like this, would require a struct type name. static struct { int i; long lv;} suits[3] = {{1, 2L},{2, 4L},{3,9L}}; Giving a struct a name is often a good idea. But if you don't want to name it,

foreach (immutable member; suits) Sometimes you have to use: foreach (const member; suits) Bye, bearophile

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

It looks like the writeln() does a pretty good job, even for enum names. I also saw a prettyprint example that prints the structure member name, and compared its output. http://forum.dlang.org/thread/ip23ld$93u$1...@digitalmars.com module main; import std.stdio; import std.traits; void

Jay Norwood: Using enums, despite their problems, if often better than strings. static Suits[] suits = [ {Suit.spades, 1, 6, SuitShort.spd}, {Suit.hearts, 4, 10, SuitShort.hrt}, {Suit.diamonds, 4, 10, SuitShort.dmd},

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

Thanks. That's looking pretty clean. I had already tried the shorter enum names without using the with statement, and it failed to compile. I thought it might work since the struct definition already specifies the enum type for the two members. with (Suit) with (SuitShort) {

iterate over enum name:value pairs

In Ali Çehreli very nice book there is this example of iterating over enum range which, as he notes, fails http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/enum.html enum Suit { spades, hearts, diamonds, clubs } foreach (suit; Suit.min .. Suit.max) { writefln(%s: %d, suit, suit); } spades: 0

Re: iterate over enum name:value pairs

Thanks. This is exactly what I was looking for. I tried this iteration below, based on the example shown in the std.traits documentation, and the int values are not what I expected, but your example works fine. http://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html#.EnumMembers import std.traits; void
