Can these be rationalised using generics?
Generics are only useful as long as you can use the same code for different types. E.g. if you replace the Writeln inside the loop for t1's print with Print(a[i]) then you could at least generalize the print functions. Operators however would need you to stuff them into a record as only then you could define generic operators that would work on that record type. Alse the code of your addition operators differs with the types so that would not help, at least not as is. Regards, Sven
