Java Generics allow you to write a class or method that are parametrized with a type. I recently wrote a blog entry about reluctantly accepting Java Generics. I have a method: public List sortStuff(List toSort) { java.util.Collections.sort(toSort); return toSort; } This produces a. Since I've been taken to task in the past for my cogent observations of Java's, um, shall we say "unintuitive" behavior, particularly in the era of generics and autoboxing, I'm just going to put this one out there without making any (public (explicit)) value That is, inside the method, any subclass or SuperType could be added to the list (since it's just a Collection of SuperType) but then List would not only contain SubtypeOfSuperType objects. Generics is one of those more complicated language features in Java that is not well understood by many programmers.

List dogs = new ArrayList();. Program Code: package com.java.simple.tutorial;. Import java.util.Iterator; import java.util. Finally Java in its Tiger release provided a solution to this problem via the generics feature. Generics are mostly used with Collections. I have a few classes (records) that represents a single row in tables like User and Fruit.. Generics are a rather difficult subject to grasp as they An ArrayList is a container that is part of the Java Collection Library and it is a generic class that is called with a type argument. This requires a type argument be passed to a generic class when it is instantiated or passed when a generic method is called. The following program illustrated the differences between listing the contents of HashMap collection, with both Generics and without. Here's how you define a collection before Java 5.
