What are the differences between Generics in C# and Java… and Templates in C++? [closed]

Answer 1

In Java, generics are compiler level only, so you get:

a = new ArrayList()
a.getClass() => ArrayList

Note that the type of 'a' is an array list, not a list of strings. So the type of a list of bananas would equal() a list of monkeys.

So to speak.
