Proposed title of article

Getting Started With Generics In Java

Introduction

A generic type is a generic class or interface that is parameterized over types. The idea is to allow type (Integer, String, … etc, and user-defined types) to be a parameter to methods, classes, and interfaces.

Key takeaways:

• What is Generics
• Why Use Generics
• Generic Methods
• Generic Classes

How will this article differ from what is published our other blog sites

[Emmah-Lashly]

@hectorkambow , the article will differ with what is published since I have simplified it to enable beginners to understand Generic classes and interfaces easily without straining. As I was researching, I realized that the content in the existing blogs are somehow ambiguous hence difficult for the beginners to understand.

Okay, please make sure you create unique/original content @Emmah-Lashly

Sounds like a helpful topic - let's please be sure it adds value beyond what is in any official docs and/or what is covered in other blog sites. (the articles should go beyond a basic explanation - and it is always best to reference any EngEd article and build upon it).

Please be attentive to grammar/readability and make sure that you put your article through a thorough editing review prior to submitting it for final approval. (There are some great free tools that we reference in EngEd resources.) ANY ARTICLE SUBMITTED WITH GLARING ERRORS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY CLOSED.

Please be sure to double-check that it does not overlap with any existing EngEd articles, articles on other blog sites, or any incoming EngEd topic suggestions (if you haven't already) to avoid any potential article closure, please reference any relevant EngEd articles in yours. - Approved
