i am a new in D.

i am using dmd version 0.121

there is something wrong with this:
int[] def = [ 1, 2, 3 ];
the compiler always give the error message:
D:\HPORJECT\Dedicated\coba.d(4): variable coba.main.def is not a static and
cannot have static initializer

i have tried several ways in D, such as int[4] def=[1,2,3]; but it give me the same error message.

i tried: int def[4]={1,2,3}; in D, but it give the same error, it works well in C++ not in D. i have read the document, but i can't found how to solve this.

Help me please.

There's always another option in every aspect of life.

try this:
static int[] def = [1, 2, 3];

I believe Walter plans in future to allow:
  int[] def = [1, 2, 3];

it's just not implemented yet. I have no idea why, but then, I'm not a compiler writer.

thanx zwang. i can compile the code now.

But it give me another error, when i want to see every value inside the array
def.
code:
void main()
{
static int[] def = [ 1, 2, 3 ];

for(int i=0;i<(sizeof(def)/sizeof(int));i++)      //loop for the length of array
printf(array[i]);
}
the error:
D:\HPORJECT\Dedicated\coba.d(9): found 'EOF' instead of statement
D:\HPORJECT\Dedicated\coba.d(9): found 'EOF' instead of statement
D:\HPORJECT\Dedicated\coba.d(9): found 'EOF' instead of statement ...up to 10
error like this.

There're several errors in your code:
0. sizeof(x) is not supported by D. Use the .sizeof property instead.
(See http://www.digitalmars.com/d/property.html)
1. (def.sizeof/int.sizeof) will always be 2 (8/4) no matter how many elements
int[] def contains.  Write def.length to get the number of elements.
(See http://www.digitalmars.com/d/arrays.html)
2. "array" is not defined
3. the first argument of printf should be a string. Either write
printf("%d", def[i]);
or
writef(def[i]); //remember to import std.stdio;

thank's zwang. I understand now.
