Why below code is Writing B not A.

namespace console
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
FnTest(1);
Console.ReadLine();
}

public static void FnTest(object a)
{
Console.WriteLine("A");
}
public static void FnTest<T>(T a)
{
Console.WriteLine("B");
}

}
}

0	Hi The name itself is saying generic. That means any datatype it can be int, string and char. In program FnTest(1); //here argument represents it is an integer type. So that integer will go to the generic method. Giving you the output from generic method. Where as declare a object type like below. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; namespace generic_and_object_ex { class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { Object a = 1; Func(a); // argument is object type Func(1); // argument is integer type Console.ReadKey(); } public static void Func(Object b) { Console.WriteLine("am from object"); } public static void Func<t>(t b) { Console.WriteLine("am from generic"); } } } out put: am from object am from generic Hope you understood. Mark the answer, if you are satisfied. Regards Sridhar Thota. www.dotnet-sridhar.blogspot.com Prtkaggrwl, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hi

The name itself is saying generic.
That means any datatype it can be int, string and char.
In program FnTest(1); //here argument represents it is an integer type.
So that integer will go to the generic method. Giving you the output from generic method.

Where as declare a object type like below.


using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;



namespace generic_and_object_ex

{

    class Program

    {

        public static void Main(string[] args)

        {

            Object a = 1; 

            Func(a);  // argument is object type

            Func(1);  // argument is integer type

                Console.ReadKey();

        }

        public static void Func(Object b)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("am from object");

        }

        public static void Func<t>(t b)

        {

            Console.WriteLine("am from generic");

        }

    }

}

out put:
am from object
am from generic

Hope you understood.
