Generic Classes

Generic classes allow you to write classes that can operate on objects of various types while providing compile-time type safety. Instead of specifying a concrete type, a generic class uses type parameters as placeholders. This makes your code more flexible and reusable. Generic classes are widely used in the Java Collections Framework and other parts of the language.

Syntax for Defining a Generic Class

public class ClassName<T> {
    // Field of generic type
    private T value;
    
    // Constructor to initialize the generic field
