Methodology for the generic function in software engineering??
Hi,
I would like to inquire your guidance on sotfware methodolody.
I took one software engineering class a while back and I don't know how I need to go about identifying a methodoloy in software development.(not sure if I am using the proper terminology to describe my question!!)
This is what I am trying to find out.
Is there some kind of methodoloy I can use and apply in order to develop a generic function(method) to do certain things with several different inputs??
I have developed several applications with different functionalities for different customers.
Each time I get a new customer, I had to develop from the scratch.
I am trying to develop a baseline flatform with generic functions which can handle very basic functions.
Say I have three different functions from three different applications but the main job of those function is same.
How can I identity if I can create a generic funtion from those different applications?
What things do I need to analyze and identify if the generic function can be created??
I am sorry if I am not explaining correctly but I hope I can get a kick start from you.
Thanks much.

I'm sorry but in every language you can add as many modules as you like Howerver what you oftne can not is extending a preexisitng class (Module). However there are a languages which allow for that e.g in Io you can write
Number foo := method(....
and then Number as suddendly a new member foo
you can do the same in Smalltalk, Common Lisp, Ruby, Objective-C
AFAIK you cannot do that in C++, Java, C#, but I may be wrong on this.

How do you develop an module type application. I am talking about an application in which you can add additional modules(component)??
How do I go about design and develop this kind of application??
