What is a generic class in C#?

Can you explain what a generic class is in C#?

Sure! A generic class in C# allows you to define a class with a placeholder for the data type. This means you can create a class that can work with any data type without losing type safety.

Why would I want to use a generic class instead of a regular class?

Using a generic class provides code reusability and type safety. It allows you to create a single class that can handle different data types, reducing code duplication.

Can you give me an example of a generic class?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example: public class Box<T> { public T Item { get; set; } } This class can hold an item of any type specified when creating an instance.

How do I create an instance of a generic class?

You can create an instance by specifying the type in angle brackets, like this: Box<int> intBox = new Box<int>(); This creates a Box that can hold an integer.
