- It is a class in which the class name is followed by the type parameter section.
- In generic class, one or more type arguments are separated by commas.
- The programmers are enabled to specify a single class declaration with a set of related type.

Write a program that implements four classes: NPC, Flying, Walking, and Generic for a fantasy roleplaying game. Each class should have the following attributes and methods:
NPC -a parent class that defines methods and an attribute common to all non-player characters (npc) in the game.
a private string variable named name, for storing the name of the npc.
a default constructor for setting name to "placeholder".
an overloaded constructor that sets name to a string argument passed to it.
setName - a mutator for updating the name attribute
getName - an accessor for returning the npc name
printStats - a pure virtual function that will be overridden by each NPC subclass.
Flying - a subclass of NPC that defines a flying npc in the game
a private int variable named flightSpeed for tracking the speed of the npc.
a default constructor for setting flightSpeed to 0 and name to "Flying" using setName.
setFlightSpeed - a mutator that accepts an integer as it's only argument…
Describe how you can use an interface as an alternative to a class to specify the type for a parameter.
