Greetings!

Yes, it's me, your favorite Dominican learning D. :-)

Ok, so I need to change reals to integers and integers to real, int to long, etc.  I have search through digitalmars.com and found nothing about this.  I did see the phobos std.boxer, which is not working for me.  For example, this program,

import std.stdio;
import std.math;
import std.string;
import std.boxer;
real toReal(int i)
{
Box b = box(i);
real r = unbox!(real)(b);
return r;
}
int toInt(real r)
{
Box b = box(r);
int i = unbox!(int)(b);
return i;
}
void main()
{
int i = 45;
real r = 12.45;
writefln(i," ",r);
writefln(toReal(i)," ",toInt(r));
}

does not compile.  Here is the error:

jic 19:08:52-> build totypes.d
c:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe
totypes,totypes.exe,,user32+kernel32,totypes.def/noi;
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1
Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989 - 2001  All Rights Reserved

totypes.obj(totypes) Error 42: Symbol Undefined _assert_3std5boxer
--- errorlevel 1

What are the libraries that I have to do this or do I need to write my own?

thanks,

josé

Well, how about simply using the cast() operator?

Cheers,
Holger

josé, to compile using the std.boxer you should always use the "-release" commandline switch...but in your conversion example above doesn't appear to need the std.boxer for your 'int to real' / 'real to int' example.

So, I put a little something together below that I hope you'll find helpful:

# // ex072205.d
# private import std.stdio;
#
# int roundToInteger(in real r)
# {
#     return cast(int)((r < 0.0L) ? r - 0.5L : r + 0.5L);
# }
#
# real toReal(int i)
# {
#     return cast(real)i;
# }
#
# int toInt(real r)
# {
#     if (r < int.min || r > int.max)
#         diehard("Real value is larger or smaller than an integer.");
#     else if (r == real.nan)
#         diehard("Can't convert a NaN to an integer.");
#     else if (r == -real.infinity || r == real.infinity)
#         diehard("Can't convert an +/- Infinity value to an integer.");
#
#     return roundToInteger(r);
# }
#
# private void diehard(in char[] s)
# {
#     throw new Exception(s);
# }
#
# void main()
# {
#     int  i = 45;
#     real r = 12.45;
#
#     writefln("Normal: int=", i, " real=", r);
#     writefln("Conversion: int=", toReal(i), " real=", toInt(r));
# }

Output:
---------
C:\dmd>dmd ex072205.d
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe ex072205,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

C:\dmd>ex072205
Normal: int=45 real=12.45
Conversion: int=45 real=12

C:\dmd>
