What are the limitations of Java Generics?

What are the limitations of Java Generics?

Java Generics provide type safety but have limitations like type erasure, no primitive types, and no runtime type information.

Can you explain type erasure in more detail?

Type erasure is the process by which the compiler removes all generic type information during compilation, leading to potential issues.

What happens if I try to use primitive types with generics?

You can't use primitive types directly with generics; you must use their wrapper classes, like Integer for int.

Are there any workarounds for these limitations?

Some workarounds include using bounded type parameters or creating utility methods that handle specific types.
