Hello everybody,
sorry for my bad english(nativ german). D is a very nice
language and easy to learn because i am a c# (only private)
developer.
The only bad is to find examples is very hard.
My question:
How can i sort a slist or dlist with custom types and lambda
expressions?
The sort function from std.algorithm works only with arrays (in
my test).
Can give anyone an short example?
Thanks for your help.
George
The "tipical" sorting functions (as those in std.algorithm)
expect their input to be a RandomAccessRange, while slists and
dlists are, by definition, ForwardRanges and BidirectionalRanges
respectively. So I'm afraid there's no standard function to order
them out-of-the-box.
That's a limitation of many languages (e.g. C++ sort requires a
RandomIterator, which forward_list and list do not provide).
What's the best workaround depends on your exact use case.
