Using the D programming language to attempt to design a complex number calculator I created the following code for two modules, one named complex.d and main.d:

complex.d:

module complex;

class Complex
{
	int real;
	int imaginary;
}

Complex add( Complex A, Complex B )
{
	Complex C;

	C.real = A.real + B.real;
	C.imaginary = A.imaginary + B.imaginary;

	return C;
}

Complex subtract( Complex A, Complex B )
{
	Complex C;

	C.real = A.real - B.real;
	C.imaginary = A.imaginary - B.imaginary;

	return C;
}

void showValue( Complex A )
{
	writeln( "%d + %di", A.real, A.imaginary );
}

main.d:

module main;

import std.stdio;

import complex;

void main()
{

	Complex A;
	Complex B;

	A.real = 5;
	A.imaginary = 6;

	B.real = 2;
	B.imaginary = 9;

	Complex C;
	Complex D;

	C = add( A, B );
	D = subtract( A, B)/>;

	showValues(A);
	showValues(B)/>;
	showValues(C);
	showValues(D);

}

When I attempt to compile main.d on the Ubuntu command prompt gdc compiler I recieve the following two errors:

main.d:13: identifier expected following '.', not 'real'
main.d:16: identifier expected following '.', not 'real'

Is the compiler simply not reading from the complex.d module? What would be the correct way to import the complex.d module?

I don't know anything about D, but I don't think the problem is related to your import statement.

The error message makes it sound as if real is a keyword and simply can't be used as the name of a variable. Try calling it something else.

Yep 'real' is a keyword for the largest floating point type on the architecture(generally 80-bit/10 bytes). Every thing else should be fine.
