dropBackOne

Convenience function which calls range.popFront() and returns range. dropOne makes it easier to pop an element from a range and then pass it to another function within a single expression, whereas popFront would require multiple statements.

dropBackOne provides the same functionality but instead calls range.popBack().

Examples

import std.algorithm.comparison : equal;
import std.algorithm.iteration : filterBidirectional;
import std.container.dlist : DList;

auto dl = DList!int(9, 1, 2, 3, 9);
assert(dl[].dropOne().dropBackOne().equal([1, 2, 3]));

auto a = [1, 2, 3];
assert(a.dropOne() == [2, 3]);
assert(a.dropBackOne() == [1, 2]);

string s = "日本語";
import std.exception : assumeWontThrow;
assert(assumeWontThrow(s.dropOne() == "本語"));
assert(assumeWontThrow(s.dropBackOne() == "日本"));

auto bd = filterBidirectional!"true"([1, 2, 3]);
assert(bd.dropOne().equal([2, 3]));
assert(bd.dropBackOne().equal([1, 2]));
