Defining New Data Types with Generics

Explore defining new data types in Go using generics to create flexible structures that work with various data types such as strings and integers. Understand how to implement methods like replaceLast for generic types, enabling reusable and type-safe code. This lesson helps you write generic Go code to handle different data types seamlessly.

We'll cover the following...

Coding example

In this lesson, we are going to create a new data type with the use of generics, which is presented in newDT.go. The newDT.go code is the following:

Go (1.19.0)
