java generics type

Comment

Java Generic Type Naming convention helps us understanding code easily and having a naming convention is one of the best practices of Java programming language. So generics also comes with its own naming conventions. Usually, type parameter names are single, uppercase letters to make it easily distinguishable from java variables. The most commonly used type parameter names are:

E – Element (used extensively by the Java Collections Framework, for example ArrayList, Set etc.)
K – Key (Used in Map)
N – Number
T – Type
V – Value (Used in Map)
S,U,V etc. – 2nd, 3rd, 4th types

// Generic method example 1
<T> void fromArrayToCollection(T[] a, Collection<T> c){
    for (T o: a){
        c.add(o);
    }
}

// Generic method example 2
public static <T extends SomeClass & SomeInterface> methodName(T o){
    o.setterMethod(123);
}

// Generic method example 3
public static <T> Stack <T> loadFromArray(Object[] arr, Class<T> type){
    Stack <T> stack = new StackArray<>(arr.length);
    for (Object o:arr){
        if (type.isInstance(o)){
            stack.push( (T) o); // type checking with "isInstance" and casting. "instanceof" will not work here.
        }
    }
}
<Car> c = loadFromArray(object_arr_of_cars, Car.class);
