In a nutshell, generics enable types (classes and interfaces) to be parameters when defining classes, interfaces and methods. Much like the more familiar formal parameters used in method declarations, type parameters provide a way for you to re-use the same code with different inputs. The ...
simple explanation of generics, along with presenting some basic concepts. After taking a look at the basic concepts, we will dive into some scenarios demonstrating the use of generics. Lastly, we will see how generics are an important ingredient for some constructs that are new to Java SE 8...
Me: "Ok, put the book in the box. Is there something else?" Sofia: "No, nothing else" Me: "Fine, we are done" This is exactly what we do everyday with our Java collections, but unfortunately the biggest part of us is not 2 years old. We iterate the collection externally, explici...
