I am new to programming.

my function is look like "T[] sort(T)(T[] A) {}".

What is main() look like to use the function?


If you know sites about dealing with syntax, please leave the links.

Thanks.

D is a large language, it will take lot of work and time to learn it.

Take a look at the RosettaCode site, it contains hundreds of small D programs of many different kinds, including an answer to your question:

Thank you for your advice and links.

I mean when function has "T[]" in the front, how am I calling it?

Thanks

I got it, Thanks.

If it's a sorting routine, then it probably sorts data in-place, so it's more clear to not return data. If the function copies inside the input data before sorting it, then it's right to return the result.
That's why in Python sort returns nothing and sorted() returns data.
The D sort finds a third way, returning something that is not exactly the input data :-)
