I'm trying to initialise an associated array of associated arrays with values, taking the same approach I would for an associated array:

string[string][string] table = [
    "info" : [
        "equation" : "H2 + I2 <=> 2HI",
        "type" : "elementary",
        ],
    "frc" : [
        "A" : "1.2e9",
        "n" : "1.2e9",
        "C" : "1.2e9",
        ],
    ];

But I'm getting the error `Not an associative array initializer'.
Is there a way to do this in the fashion that I'm trying?

I can declare it like

string[string][string] table;
table["info"]["equation"] = "H2 + I2 <=> 2HI";
table["info"]["type"] = "elementary";

But don't see why the first way wouldn't work.

This works:

  import std.stdio;

  void main() {
      string[string][string] table = ([
      "info" : [
          "equation" : "H2 + I2 <=> 2HI",
          "type" : "elementary",
          ],
      "frc" : [
          "A" : "1.2e9",
          "n" : "1.2e9",
          "C" : "1.2e9",
          ],
      ]);
      writeln(table);
  }

I found that by searching the forums for your error.

That has fixed my issue. I had searched the forums for relevant topics, but not the error itself. A lesson for me.
