Take your coding to the next level by learning advanced programming with generics. Here's how to use generic methods with type inference, type parameters, and wildcards in your Java programs.

Java 7 introduced type inference changes regarding generic class instantiation and generic constructors.

Java generic classes are compiled into bytecodes, assuming java.lang.Object for all type parameters (or, alternatively, a more specific class constraint). This is known as "type erasure".

Java currently supports only two types of value: primitives and object references. Project Valhalla extends this by introducing inline classes which are a new form of type that exhibit some ...

Generics not only let you create more flexible classes, they make inheritance more flexible, also. To pick the right inheritance mode when inheriting from a generic, though, you must know what you're ...
