C# syntax - what does mean?

Question

I have no idea what the less than / greater than "<>" mean in C#, and what are the preconditions for calling the below function?
public static string ArrayToStringGeneric<T>(IList<T> array, string delimeter)
{
    ...blah
    return outputString;
}

what would the function call syntax look like? Thanks in advance!

Steve If you are referring to from above code snippet there are used to specify the type (datatype) of the list items (collections) Say for example you wanted to have a collection of integers then you can can define a list as List countryCodes = new List ; and you can add items to this as countryCodes.Add(1); countryCodes.Add(91); ... and you can access the items same as array countryCodes[index] These are generics where in you can specify the type before hand and avoid type casting issues while working with the items..
