With properties, we can add any amount of validation to
our getter and setter methods, and keep the clean syntax of
accessing members directly!
Other object-oriented goodness for all your enterprise needs
include `interface`s, `abstract class`es,
and `override`ing methods.
We've seen D's OOP facilities, but let's switch gears. D offers
functional programming with first-class functions, `pure`
functions, and immutable data. In addition, all of your favorite
functional algorithms (map, filter, reduce and friends) can be
found in the wonderful `std.algorithm` module!
```d
import std.algorithm;
void main() {
// We want to print the sum of a list of squares of even ints
// from 1 to 100. Easy!
// Just pass lambda expressions as template parameters!
auto num = iota(1, 101).filter!(x => x % 2 == 0)
.map!(y => y ^^ 2)
.reduce!((a, b) => a + b);
writeln(num);
}
```
Notice how we got to build a nice Haskellian pipeline to compute num?
That's thanks to a D innovation know as Uniform Function Call Syntax.
With UFCS, we can choose whether to write a function call as a method
or free function all. In general, if we have a function
```d
f(A, B, C, ...)
```
Then we may write
```d
A.f(B, C, ...)
```
and the two are equivalent! No more fiddling to remember if it's
str.length or length(str)!
