.NET 4.0 Generics Beginner's Guide

Time for action – creating the generic stack as the buffer

Follow the given steps:

1. Create a console application project. Call it Palindrome Checker.
2. Create a method called IsPalindromic() with the following signature:

   public static bool IsPalindromic<T>(IEnumerable<T> inputSequence)
               where T:IComparable
   {
        Stack<T> buffer = new Stack<T>();
        return true;
   }

3. Add the following code in the Main() method:

   static void Main(string[] args)
   {
        bool status = IsPalindromic<char>(new int[] { 1, 2, 2, 1 });
   }

4. Try to compile the program.
