Study Notes
Generic Programming
- The main emphasis of generic programming is to allow type (Integer, String, … etc.) to be a parameter to methods, classes and interfaces.
- Flexibility is achieved in generic programming through the use of type parameters, which enables the same code to work with different types of data.
Common Use and Language Support
- Generic programming is commonly used in situations where a class or method can work with multiple types of data, such as in data structures and algorithms.
- C++ is a language that supports generic programming through the use of templates.
