Function std.range.dropExactly

Similar to drop and dropBack but they call range.popFrontExactly(n) and range.popBackExactly(n) instead.

R dropExactly(R) (
  R range,
  size_t n
)
if (isInputRange!R);

Note

Unlike drop, dropExactly will assume that the range holds at least n elements. This makes dropExactly faster than drop, but it also means that if range does not contain at least n elements, it will attempt to call popFront on an empty range, which is undefined behavior. So, only use popFrontExactly when it is guaranteed that range holds at least n elements.

Parameters

NameDescription
range the input range to drop from
n the number of elements to drop

Returns

range with n elements dropped

Example

import std.algorithm.comparison : equal;
import std.algorithm.iteration : filterBidirectional;

auto a = [1, 2, 3];
writeln(a.dropExactly(2)); // [3]
writeln(a.dropBackExactly(2)); // [1]

string s = "日本語";
writeln(s.dropExactly(2)); // "語"
writeln(s.dropBackExactly(2)); // "日"

auto bd = filterBidirectional!"true"([1, 2, 3]);
assert(bd.dropExactly(2).equal([3]));
assert(bd.dropBackExactly(2).equal([1]));
