In computer programming languages, TypeParameter is a frequently used generic label used in templates to reference an unknown data type, data structure, or class. Templates are most frequently used in Java and C++. TypeParameter is similar to a metasyntactic variable (e.g., foo and bar ), but distinct. It is not the name of a generic variable, but the name of a generic type of variable. The capitalisation varies according to programming language and programmer preference. TypeParameter , Typeparameter , TYPEPARAMETER , typeparameter , and type_parameter are all possible. Alternate labels are also used, especially in complex templates where more than one type parameter is necessary. X , Y , Foo , Bar , Item , Thing are typical alternate labels. Many programming languages are case-sensitive, making a consistent choice of labels important. The CamelCase TypeParameter is one of the most commonly used. See also - Metasyntactic variable
