Generic Subprograms

• A generic subprograms is a subprogram which have parametric polymorphism.
• A generic subprogram can accept different types of values of same single memory location.
• Parametrically polymorphic subprograms are often called generic subprograms.
• C++ provide a kind of compile-time parametric polymorphism.

For example Generic Functions in C++:

template <class Type>
void show(Type a) {
cout<<a;
}
void main()
{
show(10);
show(10.2);
show(‘c’);
}
