What are generics in TypeScript?

Can you explain what generics are in TypeScript?

Sure! Generics in TypeScript allow you to create reusable components that can work with any data type.

Why would I want to use generics instead of just using any?

Using generics provides type safety, ensuring that the data types are consistent and reducing runtime errors.

Can you give me an example of how to use generics?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example: function identity<T>(arg: T): T { return arg; } This function can take any type.

What are some common use cases for generics?

Common use cases include creating reusable data structures like stacks, queues, and functions that operate on arrays.
