✨ Experiment with Generic Math in .NET6

[angularsen]

Experimenting with https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/preview-features-in-net-6-generic-math/

Example:

publicinterfaceIQuantity<TQuantity>:IAdditionOperators<TQuantity,TQuantity,TQuantity>,IParseable<TQuantity>,IComparisonOperators<TQuantity,TQuantity>,IAdditiveIdentity<TQuantity,TQuantity>whereTQuantity:IQuantity<TQuantity>{staticabstractTQuantityZero{get;}}

Allows us to do:

voidFoo<TQuantity>(TQuantityleft,TQuantityright)whereTQuantity:IQuantity<TQuantity>{WriteLine(left.CompareTo(right));WriteLine(left+right);WriteLine(TQuantity.Parse("25 m",null);}TQuantitySum<TQuantity>(IEnumerable<TQuantity>items)whereTQuantity:IQuantity<TQuantity>{returnitems.Aggregate(TQuantity.Zero,(acc,item)=>acc+item);}

Full sample output:

Foo(1 Meter, 10 Centimeter)
---
1 <== left.CompareTo(right)
1.1 Meter <== left + right
25 Meter <== TQuantity.Parse("25 m", null)
10 Meter <== Sum [1,2,3,4] array of meters

Love it. It doesn't seem like there is a way to make it backwards compatible to netstandard, etc. though :(
