Thanks

Let us Say Case 1,
AddNumbers(int a, int b);
AddNumbers(float a, float b);
AddNumbers(double a, double b);
We have three overloaded function that do Addition.

Now have a look AddNumbers(T a, T b);
Here T is called Generic Type.
And the function is called Generic Function as it can be called by AddNumbers(2,3) as well as AddNumbers(2.6, 7,4);

By using generic, you can avoid overloaded functions and multiple delcarations (Case A).
