Is there a String Comparison Operator in D?
Yeah, just the usual comparison operators:
"abc" == "abc"
"abc" != "ABC"
~ is for string concatenation, i.e.:
"abc" ~ "def" == "abcdef"
Just to clarify.
It's not actually a string concatenation operator, it's an
array appending operator.
Strings are just an alias for immutable(char)[] and not
actually a type unlike other languages like C#, Java etc. where
strings are objects.
In fact it doesn't have any operators that doesn't work with
any other type of arrays. Just like functions such as replace
etc. aren't necessarily string functions, but works with any
type of arrays.
Regarding concatenation vs appending, it's kind of both depending
on the type of the operands. What I mean is all of the following
are valid:
[10, 20] ~ [30, 40] == [10, 20, 30, 40] // Concatenation
[10, 20] ~ 30 == [10, 20, 30] // Appending
10 ~ [20, 30] == [10, 20, 30] // Prepending
