Study Notes
Generic Class
- Generic classes are used to process data of any type
- Implementing separate classes for each data type is repetitive
- Example: Processing an array of integer numbers requires a different class than an array of string numbers.
- Generic classes address this redundancy by defining classes once that can work with any type
Defining Generic Class
- Example: Defining a class to handle an array of integers
class SpecificArrayInt {
// Declaring an array of integer numbers
int[] a;
// Constructor to load the array
SpecificArrayInt(int[] a) { this.a = a; }
// Method to print the array elements
void printInt() { for (int x : a) System.out.println(x); }
}
- The code above must be repeated for each data type (e.g. String, Double)
- Generic classes allow defining a class once that can handle any type of data.
