class Data(TItem) {
TItem _item;
this(TItem item) {
_item = item;
}
}
class Pack(TItem) {
string _name; // Added semicolon
Data!TItem[] _items; // Changed to Data!TItem
this(string name) { // Removed numOfItems
_name = name;
}
// Added add(). (Instead of this method, you can take the elements as a
// constructor parameter.)
void add(Data!TItem[] items...) {
_items ~= items;
}
}
Pack!TItem pack(TItem)(string name, Data!TItem[] items...)
{
auto p = new Pack!TItem(name);
p.add(items);
return p;
}
void main()
{
Pack!int p1 = pack("package1", new Data!int(24));
Pack!int p2 = pack("package2", new Data!int(-7), new Data!int(0));
Pack!string p3 = pack("text pack 1", new Data!string("text1"));
}
