It can't be actual C#, but it does look like it.
If you declare a class Pie<T>{} then attempt to call typeof(Pie<T>) or typeof(T) it won't even build because you failed to specify what type T is. typeof(Pie<object>) would work but that just returns "Pie
1[System.Object]".I have used typeof(T) inside the generic class, so fx a function inside the
class Piewhere T can be refered. But out of context, if you were to call typeof(T) inside Program.cs's main function, it would not work.Yeah, but to do that you'd need an instantiated instance of the Pie class, which would answer in the context of the generic type parameter, not the whole Pie class.
This is too funny. Everyone here, me included, is profoundly overthinking this, lol.
I don't get what you mean. You can define
class Pieand instantiate it with the type argumentPie.Huh, maybe I don't get it because Lemmy is literally erasing angle brackets from our messages. Not just "not rendering." It's removing them entirely. There should be four angle brackets in the first line of this comment...
Dunno. I'm on Kbin. It looks okay here.
