what is generic class?

Answer 1

Java Generic methods and generic classes enable programmers to specify, with a single method declaration, a set of related methods, or with a single class declaration, a set of related types, respectively. Generics also provide compile-time type safety that allows programmers to catch invalid types at compile time.

Answer 2

Generic class enables the programmer to create classes,interfaces and methods in which type of data is specified as a parameter. It provides a facility to write an algorithm independent of any specific type of data. Generics also provide type safety. Type safety means ensuring that an operation is being performed on the right type of data before executing that operation.
