[RESOLVED] "Template" or "Multi Type" function

[bergerkiller]

Hello everyone.

I have this HUGE class containing way too many functions. It could be shortened to 1/5 if I could only use multi typing in the functions.

For example, the following functions:

	public static Object Choose(boolean Expression, Object TrueValue, Object FalseValue) {
		if (Expression) return TrueValue;
		return FalseValue;
	}
	public static int Choose(boolean Expression, int TrueValue, int FalseValue) {
		if (Expression) return TrueValue;
		return FalseValue;
	}
	public static int[] Choose(boolean Expression, int[] TrueValue, int[] FalseValue) {
		if (Expression) return TrueValue;
		return FalseValue;
	}
	public static Texture Choose(boolean Expression, Texture TrueValue, Texture FalseValue) {
		if (Expression) return TrueValue;
		return FalseValue;
	}
	public static String Choose(boolean Expression, String TrueValue, String FalseValue) {
		if (Expression) return TrueValue;
		return FalseValue;
	}

I know there is a simple way of choosing between objects only, but it requires type conversion after the function. So, how could I shorten it to something like:

	public static class Choose(Type T) {
		T Choose(boolean Expression, T TrueValue, T FalseValue) {
			if (Expression) return TrueValue; else return FalseValue;
		}
	}

Thanks in advance.

EDIT

I was pretty close to the resolution, found out that it was called "Generics" in the Java language:

	public static <T> T choose(boolean Expression, T TrueValue, T FalseValue) {
		if (Expression) return TrueValue; else return FalseValue;
	}
