Generics is the topic of generalizing types and functionalities to broader cases.
|
|
|
|
|
This is extremely useful for reducing code duplication in many ways, but can call for rather involving syntax.
|
|
|
|
|
Namely, being generic requires taking great care to specify over which types a generic type is actually considered valid.
|
|
|
|
|
The simplest and most common use of generics is for type parameters.
