What You'll Learn
- Write, compile, and run basic D programs using modules, functions, and correct syntax
- Use write/writeln and formatted output to display values with format specifiers and precision
- Read and parse user input with stdin/readln/readf and formattedRead using format specifiers
- Apply logical expressions, if/else, switch/case, and ?: to control program flow
- Implement loops (while, for, do-while, foreach) with break/continue to process data
- Manipulate arrays, slices, strings, and associative arrays (sort, reverse, slice, indexOf)
- Build robust D code with exceptions, assert/enforce, unit tests, and in/out contracts
