Notice that this post was published on April 1, 2009. For decades, computer science students have been taught that so-called NP-hard problems do not have known efficient solutions. These problems include the infamous Travelling salesman problem, subset sum, 3SAT, and many more. But – as is often the case – where theoretical Computer Science failed, […]

Today, I am writing about a design problem related to C# generics that I’ve seen arise a few times. The problem occurs when we need to manipulate a generic class given a reference to its non-generic base class. For example, if a generic class Node<T> inherits from a non-generic class Node, and we are holding […]
