Science, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
The forthcoming releases of Java JDK v1.5 and C# v2.0 support generic classes (classes
with generic type parameters) and generic methods. Furthermore, each also supports
constrained generic types.
Much has been written about generic types. In “A Comparative Study of Language
Support for Generic Programming” by Garcia et al
(http://www.osl.iu.edu/publications/pubs/2003/comparing_generic_programming03.pdf),
details of generic types and programming in C++, Haskell, Standard ML, Eiffel, Java and
C# are compared. Useful details and generic coding examples from the soon to be
released Java JDK 1.5 (now in beta) are presented…
