Generic programming




<programming> A programming technique which aims to make programs more adaptable by making them more general.

Generic programs often embody non-traditional kinds of polymorphism; ordinary programs are obtained from them by suitably instantiating their parameters.

In contrast with normal programs, the parameters of a generic programs are often quite rich in structure.

For example they may be other programs, types or type constructors or even programming paradigms.
