A lot of C and C++ knowledge will carry over to D, but it isn't 
exactly the same. D's strings are of type `string` which is 
another word for `immutable(char)[]`.

immutable means the contents never change. A `[]` slice is a 
pointer+length pair in a single type.


For your simple case, making it `const char*` should work... but 
you might want to read up on D's const and array types before 
going to much further.
