Universal (Generic) Algorithms

When using generics in Java, universal (generic)


algorithms can be created for di�erent types.

Generics

In Java, generics allow classes and interface types to be


used as parameters to de�ne classes, interfaces, or
methods.

Bene�ts of Generics

In Java, generics allow for stronger type checking and


bug detection at compile time.

Diamond Operators

When using generics in Java, the diamond operator


( <> ) is used to declare the type parameter.

super

When using generics in Java, the super keyword is


used to de�ne a lower bound type on a wildcard.

Wildcards

In Java, the wildcard ( ? ) is used to specify an unknown


generic type parameter.

extends

When using generics in Java, the extends keyword is


used to de�ne an upper bound type on type parameter
or wildcard.

Wrapper Classes

Wrapper classes are provided to allow primitive values


to be used with generic code.

Collections

A collection stores many elements within a single


object.

Collections Framework

The collections framework provides ready to use


collection data structures and algorithms.

Aggregrate Operations

When using collections in Java, aggregate operations


are used to access and modify a stream of elements.

Collection Interface

The Collection interface is the root interface of the


collections framework.

List Interface

The List interface is used to store elements in an


ordered collection.

Set Interface

The Set interface is used to store unique elements in


a collection.

Queue and Deque Interfaces

The Queue and Deque interfaces are used to


hold elements in a collection to process in a speci�c
order.

Map Interface

The Map interface stores elements as key-value


pairs.

Iterators and Enhanced For Loops

Iterators and enhanced for loops are used to traverse


collections in Java.

Type Parameters

speci�ed.
