Advanced Java

Within methods declaration of the type parameters could be done and constructor signatures for creation of the generic constructors or generic methods.

Java Code: This is the code to explain Generic Methods

public class Box<T> {

    private T t;          

    public void add(T t) {
        this.t = t;
    }

    public T get() {
        return t;
    }

    public <U> void inspect(U u){
        System.out.println("T: " +
            t.getClass().getName());
        System.out.println("U: " +
            u.getClass().getName());
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Box<Integer> integerBox = 
            new Box<Integer>();
        integerBox.add(new Integer(10));
        integerBox.inspect("some text");
    }
}

The output from this program is:

Java Code: Output of above program

T: java.lang.Integer
U: java.lang.String
