A calling sequence is the conventional sequence of instructions that call and return from a procedure.

Because programs tend to make many procedure calls, a compiler should ensure that this sequence is as economical as possible. A parameter is a variable that you pass in to a function. If you think back to math class, you spend a lot of time talking about f(x). In that case, "f" is the function and "x" is the parameter- something passed in to x that is going to change what the output of f gives you. Generics were added to version 2.0 of the C# language and the common language runtime (CLR). Generics introduce to the .NET Framework the concept of type parameters, which make it possible to design classes and methods that defer the specification of one or more types until the class or method is declared and instantiated by client code. Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that represents concepts as "objects" that have data fields and associated procedures known as methods. C# is a simple, modern, general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft within its .NET initiative led by Anders Hejlsberg.
