Generics¶
Key Question: How can we use our knowledge of memory and data representation to write code that works with any data type?
We can use void * to circumvent the type system, memcpy, etc. to copy generic data, and function pointers to pass logic around.
Why does this matter? Working with any data type lets us write more generic, reusable code. Using generics also helps us better understand the type system in C and other languages, and where it can help and hinder our program.
