Note

As explained in Chapter 10, it is possible to build generic methods that take the concept of overloading to

the next level. Using generics, you can define “placeholders” for a method implementation that are specified at the

time you invoke the member.

The caller can now simply invoke Add() with the required arguments and the compiler is happy

to comply, given the fact that the compiler is able to resolve the correct implementation to invoke

given the provided arguments:

static void Main(string[] args)

{

Console.WriteLine("***** Fun with Method Overloading *****");
