C# Generic Methods

A generic method declares type parameters within the signature of a method.

With generic methods, many algorithms can be implemented in a general-purpose way.

Here is a generic method that swaps two values of any type:


static void Swap<T> (ref T a, ref T b)
{/* w ww. ja  v a2  s.co m*/
 T temp = a;
 a = b;
 b = temp;
}

Swap<T> can be used as follows:


int x = 5;
int y = 10;
Swap (ref x, ref y);
