Generic Types and Methods
* Motivation for Generic Types
Operations on sets
The classes IntSet and StringSet
The class ObjectSet
Problems
* Generic Types
The generic class Set<T>
Generic Types
Constraints on Formal Type Parameters
Constraints: Strings of comparable elements
Another example of constraints
Variance
Generic structs
Generic interfaces: IComparable<T>
Generic equality interfaces
Generic Classes and Inheritance
* Generic Methods

Generic Delegates

Generic types and methods - Pros and Cons
The classes IntSet and StringSet
A set of int and a set of string are very similar
The class IntSet.
A client of IntSet.
Output from the IntSet client program.
The class StringSet.
A client of StringSet.
Output from the IntSet client program.
It is tedious to make a maintain both of these classes separately
