December 23, 2017 Compiler gets confused with ambiguity when `int` matches both `real` and `float`. | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
The following expression: import std.math : sqrt; sqrt(400); produces the following compiler error: std.math.sqrt called with argument types (int) matches both: /usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/math.d(1592,7): std.math.sqrt(float x) and: /usr/include/dmd/phobos/std/math.d(1598,6): std.math.sqrt(real x) Shouldn't it just pick one according to some defined rules? |

C++ complains the same between float and double. Just put 400.0f or whatever precision you want to use. I think it's better that it doesn't just pick one.
