Hello everyone,
I just started using D and I am a bit puzzled by the syntax of
the sort function is std.algorithm.sorting, which is
sort!(comparingFunction)(list)
where comparingFunction is often a lambda expression. For
instance in the Wolfram Language the equivalent function is
Sort[list,comparingFunction]
My questions are:
1) Why is D making using of the binary ! operator, which as far
as I understand introduces a template?
2) Why is a template needed here?
3) It seems to me like the argument passed to the template is a
lambda expression. I only know about templates taking types as
argument. What's going on?
Many thanks!
