Since its inception, the Java language has undergone a lot of changes, which undoubtedly brought positive aspects to its functionality. One of these significant changes is the introduction of Java Generic or generalization. This functionality has made the language not only more flexible and versatile, but also much safer in terms of data type casting.

As you can see in the figure above, there is nothing complicated in declaring a generic method. It is enough to put angle brackets in front of the type returned by the method and specify the type parameters in them.
In the case of the constructor, everything is done in the same way:
In this case, angle brackets are preceded by the name of the constructor, since it does not return any value. The result of the work of both programs will be:
Integer
String
