Kotlin Generics

Learn and implement generic functions and classes in Kotlin.

Kotlin generics allow us to create reusable and type-safe functions, classes, and interfaces. They provide a way to define placeholders for types, making our code more flexible and adaptable to different data types. Let’s cover the basics of Kotlin generics, generic functions, and classes.

Generic functions

A generic function can operate on different types without sacrificing type safety. We can declare a Kotlin function with generic type parameters using angle brackets (< >). Here’s an example:
