Dtyypit

Dtyypit refers to the types available in the D programming language, forming the fundamental building blocks for variables, functions, and data structures. They include built-in primitive types, composite types, and user-defined types.

Built-in primitive types include booleans, character types (char, wchar, dchar) and integer types (byte, ubyte, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong) as well as floating-point types (float, double, real). D also supports pointers to these types and offers qualifiers such as const, immutable, shared, and inout to control mutability and concurrency.

Composite types include arrays (static and dynamic), associative arrays, structs, unions, enums, and classes. Pointers and references are used to refer to data. Type definitions can be aliased with aliasing constructs, and user-defined types can be integrated with templates for generic programming.

The D type system supports type inference through auto, compile-time features, templates, and static type checking. Type traits and mixins allow reflection and metaprogramming to inspect and manipulate types at compile time. Casting and conversions between types are explicit, with possible implicit conversions in certain contexts.

Dtyypit are central to programming in D, affecting performance, memory management, and safety. They interact with the language’s modules, interfaces, and object model, enabling a wide range of applications from systems programming to high-level software.
