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.

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

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 :-)
