Template std.algorithm.iteration.filter

Implements the higher order filter function. The predicate is passed to unaryFun, and can either accept a string, or any callable that can be executed via pred(element).

template filter(alias predicate) ;

Contained Functions

NameDescription
filter

Parameters

NameDescription
predicate Function to apply to each element of range

Example

import std.algorithm.comparison : equal;
import std.math : approxEqual;
import std.range;

int[] arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ];

// Filter below 3
auto small = filter!(a => a < 3)(arr);
assert(equal(small, [ 1, 2 ]));

// Filter again, but with Uniform Function Call Syntax (UFCS)
auto sum = arr.filter!(a => a < 3);
assert(equal(sum, [ 1, 2 ]));

// In combination with chain() to span multiple ranges
int[] a = [ 3, -2, 400 ];
int[] b = [ 100, -101, 102 ];
auto r = chain(a, b).filter!(a => a > 0);
assert(equal(r, [ 3, 400, 100, 102 ]));

// Mixing convertible types is fair game, too
double[] c = [ 2.5, 3.0 ];
auto r1 = chain(c, a, b).filter!(a => cast(int) a != a);
assert(approxEqual(r1, [ 2.5 ]));
