Hi,

The primary programming language that I use is C++. I have done some
reading and found that neither Java or C# have templates. Is this due to
everything deriving from a common Object class? Am I incorrect in my
awareness? How do Java and C# developers replace templates in their
programs?

thanks,
crichmon
