What are generic methods in C#?
Generics allow you to write a class or method that can work with any data type. Declare a generic method with a type parameter −
static void Swap(ref T lhs, ref T rhs) {}
To call the above shown generic method, here is an example −
Swap(ref a, ref b);
Let us see how to create a generic method in C# −
Example
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; namespace Demo { class Program { static void Swap(ref T lhs, ref T rhs) { T temp; temp = lhs; lhs = rhs; rhs = temp; } static void Main(string[] args) { int a, b; char c, d; a = 45; b = 60; c = 'K'; d = 'P'; Console.WriteLine("Int values before calling swap:"); Console.WriteLine("a = {0}, b = {1}", a, b); Console.WriteLine("Char values before calling swap:"); Console.WriteLine("c = {0}, d = {1}", c, d); Swap(ref a, ref b); Swap(ref c, ref d); Console.WriteLine("Int values after calling swap:"); Console.WriteLine("a = {0}, b = {1}", a, b); Console.WriteLine("Char values after calling swap:"); Console.WriteLine("c = {0}, d = {1}", c, d); Console.ReadKey(); } } }
Output
Int values before calling swap: a = 45, b = 60 Char values before calling swap: c = K, d = P Int values after calling swap: a = 60, b = 45 Char values after calling swap: c = P, d = K
