Question

Which of these is an correct way of defining generic method? (a) name(T1, T2, …, Tn) { /* … */ } (b) public name { /* … */ } (c) class name[T1, T2, …, Tn] { /* … */ } (d) name{T1, T2, …, Tn} { /* … */ } I have been asked this question in an internship interview. The question is from Generic Methods topic in portion Generics of Java Select the correct answer from above options

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) public name { /* … */ } The explanation is: The syntax for a generic method includes a type parameter, inside angle brackets, and appears before the method’s return type. For static generic methods, the type parameter section must appear before the method’s return type.
