Generic programming is about making 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 to normal programs, the parameters of a generic program are often quite rich in structure; for example, they may be other programs, types or type constructors, classes, concepts, or even programming paradigms.
