Introduction

Here is a generic method that swaps the contents of two variables of any type T: 

static void Swap<T> (ref T a, ref T b)
 {
  T temp = a;
  a = b;
  b = temp;
}

Swap<T> can be used as follows: 

int x = 5;
int y = 10;
Swap (ref x, ref y);

static void Swap<T> (ref T a, ref T b)
 {
  T temp = a;
  a = b;
  b = temp;
}

If there is ambiguity, generic methods can be called with the type arguments as follows: 

Swap<int> (ref x, ref y);

Methods and types are the only constructs that can introduce type parameters.
