One of the coolest features of modern higher programming languages like C# or Java, is the concept of generic programming, in which you can have methods or classes that work for different types at runtime. C++ also offers a similar mechanism with the concept of templates, with the difference that they have to be resolved at compilation time, for more details see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/extensions/generics-and-templates-visual-cpp?view=msvc-170. | One of the coolest features of modern higher programming languages like C# or Java, is the concept of generic programming, in which you can have methods or classes that work for different types at runtime.
