Building software components (classes) as implementations of abstract data types yields systems with a solid architecture but does not in itself ensure reusability and extendibility. Two key techniques address the problem: generosity (unconstrained or constrained) and inheritance. Let us look first at the unconstrained form.
Building software components (classes) as implementations of abstract data types yields systems with a solid architecture but does not in itself ensure reusability and extendibility. Two key techniques address the problem: genericity (unconstrained or constrained) and inheritance. Let us look first at the unconstrained form.
To make a class generic is to give it '''formal generic parameters''' representing as unknown types, as in these examples from EiffelBase, an open-source library covering basic data structures and algorithms:
