c# generic self-referencing declarations

Question

I\'ve been reading Albaharis\' \"C# 5.0 in A Nutshell\" and I\'ve encountered this in Generics section and it is said to be legal:

class Bar where T         


        

Answer 1

I might be a little late to the party but I want to share an unreal-world application scenario for fun :)

// self referencing list in c#
// we cant use generic type syntax: new List();
list.Add(list); // the "FBI! open up" part
Console.WriteLine(list[0][0][0][0][0][0][0].Count); // 1
