's.length' is not an lvalue

Problem code:

void main()
{	
   char[] s;
   s.length++;    
}

Change

s.length++;

s.length = s.length + 1;

Problem code:

import std.ctype;
import std.string;
void main()
{
   char[] s = "some string";
   s = toupper(s);
   printf("%.*s\n", s);
}

Error message:

c:\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos\std\string.d(502): function toupper 
conflicts with ctype.toupper at c:\dmd\bin\..\src\phobos\std\ctype.d(36)

There are multiple solutions. The simplest is to change

 s = toupper(s);

 s = std.string.toupper(s);

Problem code:

int[] data = { 17, 23, 42, 69, 105, 666 };

Arrays are initialized using square brackets []

int[] data = [ 17, 23, 42, 69, 105, 666 ];

Structs are initialized using braces {}

struct Foo
{
    int    A;
    char[] B;
}

const Foo X = {1, "abc"};

To combine them:

struct Foo
{
    int    A;
    char[] B;
}

const Foo[] X = [ {1, "abc" }, 
                  {4, "xyzzy" }
                ];
