Question: Why do we need generics in java?


Answer:

Code that uses generics has many benefits over non-generic code:

1) Stronger type checks at compile time: A Java compiler applies strong type checking to generic code and issues errors if the code violates type safety. Fixing compile-time errors is easier than fixing runtime errors, which can be difficult to find.

2) Elimination of casts: If you use generics, then explicit type casting is not required.

3) Enabling programmers to implement generic algorithms: By using generics, programmers can implement generic algorithms that work on collections of different types, can be customized, and are type safe and easier to read.

Knowledge Centre
Purpose of garbage collection
The garbage collection process is to identify the objects which are no longer referenced or needed by a program so that their resources can be reclaimed and reused. These identified objects will be discarded.
