Generic programming: Programming language support for genericity, Overview & Stepanov–Musser and other generic programming paradigms

Generic programming is a style of computer programming in which algorithms are written in terms of data types to-be-specified-later that are then instantiated when needed for specific types provided as parameters. This approach, pioneered in the programming language ML in 1973, permits writing common functions or data types that differ only in the set of…
