Java Generics
Java Generics enable us to gain type safety in situations where classes and methods that are designed to be able to work with any type would otherwise be designed to work with Object instances. For instance, without Java Generics the Java List, Java Set, Java Map etc. interfaces would all be working on Object instances. With Java Generics you can create List, Set or Map instances that work on specific types, e.g. a List of Strings, rather than a List of Objects, so you achieve a higher type safety in your code.
Java Generics add type parameters to classes, interfaces, methods and variables that decide to use them. To be able to use a type parameter with a class, interface, method or variable the type you are trying to add the type parameter to, must be designed to allow generic type parameters.
Many of Java's built-in utility classes and interfaces are designed to allow generic type parameters. This Java Generics tutorial shows examples of how to use generic type parameters with some of these classes. Once you have seen a few examples, you can figure out how to use generic type parameters in general.
You can also design your own classes, interfaces and methods to use usable with Java Generics - meaning enabling them to take type parameters. This Java Generics tutorial also shows how to do that.
