Complete In-Depth C# Generics Code Analysis

Overview

This code demonstrates the evolution of C# programming from basic method overloading to sophisticated generic programming. It showcases multiple approaches to solve the same problem: creating reusable code that works with different data types.

Namespace and Structure

namespace _14DemoGenerics
{
    // All code is contained within this namespace
}

The namespace _14DemoGenerics suggests this is part of a tutorial series (lesson 14) focusing on generics demonstration.

Active Code Analysis

1. Generic Delegate Declaration

public delegate Q SomeDelegate<P,Q>(P k);

Detailed Breakdown:

• public: Accessible from outside the namespace
• delegate: Declares a delegate type (function pointer)
• Q: Return type (generic type parameter)
• SomeDelegate<P,Q>: Delegate name with two generic type parameters
• P k: Parameter of generic type P

What it means: This creates a template for delegates that can:

• Take one parameter of any type (P)
• Return a value of any type (Q)
