Bounded Type Parameters

When you think about the power of generics in Java, one of the most compelling features is the ability to apply bounded type parameters. This concept allows you to not only create flexible code that can work with various data types, but also impose specific constraints on those types.

This means you can ensure that the types you work with adhere to certain behaviors or properties, making your code safer and more predictable.

In this chapter, we’re going to dive into what bounded type parameters are, how to implement them, and where they shine in real-world applications.

Whether you are building a library or developing an application, understanding bounded type parameters will enhance your coding skills and give you a deeper control over type safety.
