Generic Programming

Software Development and Engineering Practices

Generic programming is a software development style that writes algorithms and data structures in terms of types to be specified later, allowing the same code to work with many different data types without duplication. It underlies features like C++ templates, Java/C# generics, and Rust traits, and is used by software engineers to build reusable, type-safe libraries such as collections and sorting routines. It improves code reuse and compile-time type safety compared to writing separate implementations for each type.
