Yes, I did see that. How would I set the predicate to sort by fScore? An integer in my struct.

I'm trying to work with and implement and priority queue( min-heap ) and a hash table. This is the first time I've worked with these data structures so I looked up some information about them to gain an
understanding.

From what I read, a min-heap is a binary tree that is sorted by a priority. In my case I have a struct called Node for an A* algorithm that I wanted to place in a min-heap sorted by an integer, their f score. Initially the min-heap will only have one item in it with others
added later.

How would I create a min-heap sorted by fScore? Will the list stay
sorted after I add a new node?

As far as hash tables goes, it seems like I need to use an associative
array, is that right?

What exactly would the key/hash be? How would I implement this if the
hash table is supposed to contain the struct Node?

BinaryHeap in std.container can be made to work as a min-heap, in fact the documentation specifically mentions such a use: http://dlang.org/
phobos/std_container.html#BinaryHeap
