The feature of Generics in Java allows Applications to
create classes and objects that can operate on any defined
types. Programmers can now make use of the Generics feature
for a much better code. There is no need for un-necessary
casting when dealing with Objects in a Collection.
Example without using generics
// Removes 4-letter words from c. Elements must be strings
static void expurgate(Collection c) {
for (Iterator i = c.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
if (((String) i.next()).length() == 4)
i.remove();
}
Here is the same example modified to use generics:
// Removes the 4-letter words from c
static void expurgate(Collection<String> c) {
for (Iterator<String> i = c.iterator(); i.hasNext(); )
if (i.next().length() == 4)
i.remove();
}
