Description

Bug: prose references <Product> type that doesn't exist in the code example

In the opening section, this sentence describes the code example above it:

In each case, the type argument in angle brackets (<int>, <string>, <Product>) tells the generic type what kind of data it holds or operates on.

However, <Product> does not appear anywhere in the code example or elsewhere in the document. The actual type arguments used are <int>, <string>, <decimal>, and <bool>.

Impact: Readers — especially those new to generics — may look for a Product type in the example and get confused when they can't find it.

Suggested fix: Replace <Product> in that sentence with one of the type arguments actually used in the code, for example <decimal> or <bool>.
