Generics is a term used for denoting a set of language features that allow us to add type parameters to types. Consider, for example, a simple class with a function for adding elements in the form of Int objects:
class AdderInt {
fun add(i:Int) {
...
}
}
and another one for String objects:
class AdderString {
fun add(s:String) {
...
}
}
Apart from what happens inside the add() function, these classes look suspiciously similar, so we could think of a language feature that abstracts the type for the element to add. Such a language feature exists in Kotlin, ...
