So Im getting back into c# again, and I encountered the following issue :

I want to create a generic function that can recieve one of two types, something around these lines :

public void Remove<T> (T inputValue) where T : (int or string)

I was quite surprised that I couldnt find any straight forward solution to this.

Appreciate your help or a link to somewhere the topic has been touched. Thanks!

I think an overload would be the best option here – Sasha Jul 24 '18 at 11:01
Neither `int` nor `string` can be subclassed, so there's not much generic about your implementation. – Jeroen Mostert Jul 24 '18 at 11:02
Agree with @Jaxi. You can't limit generics in such a way. – Stevo Jul 24 '18 at 11:02

@Jaxi I wanted to avoid overloading, just to see if it can be done. Got my answer, thanks. – Rohi Jul 24 '18 at 11:05
