# Generics/Metaprogramming in C
Exploring different ideas for implementing generics in C.
[01_no_metaprogramming](./01_no_metaprogramming) is the result of the code if implemented manually.
[02_macros](./02_macros) is an implementation that uses simple macros to define 2D and 3D vectors for different data types.
[03_xmacros](./03_xmacros) is an implementation that relies on X macros to allow for defining any N-dimensional vector for different data types. In this case, it is only 2D and 3D vectors, but it can be easily expanded to other dimensions.
## General assessment of the different techniques
| Technique | Readability | Debugging | Maintenance | Extensibility | Score |
| 01_no_metaprogramming | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐ | 3.25 / 5 |
| 02_macros | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | 3.75 / 5 |
| 03_xmacros | ⭐ | ⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | 2.75 / 5 |
