Chapter 17.5, Problem 17.16CP
Program Plan Intro
Generic Class:
- It is a class in which the class name is followed by the type parameter section.
- In generic class, one or more type arguments are separated by commas.
- The programmers are enabled to specify a single class declaration with a set of related type.

Students have asked these similar questions
Explore the role of generics in conjunction with the Comparable interface. How do generics enhance type safety when sorting collections of objects?
Why do we use generic methods?
Generic methods allows for code reuse (for different data types)
Generic methods allows for the Object class (the generic data type) to be used
Generic methods allow for handling abstract class (of which there can be no
instantiations)
The compiler will automatically generate test cases based on the appropriate
data types
What makes overloading and generics different? Why is ad hoc polymorphism sometimes used to describe the former?

Therefore, the class linkedListType and its derived classes unorderedLinkedList and orderedLinkedList can no longer directly access the instance variables of the class nodeType. Rewrite the definitions of these classes so that these classes use the member functions of the class nodeType to access the info and link fields of a node. Also write programs to test various operations of the classes unorderedLinkedList and orderedLinkedList. template <class Type>class nodeType{public:const nodeType<Type>& operator=(const nodeType<Type>&);//Overload the assignment operator.void setInfo(const Type& elem);//Function to set the info of the node.//Postcondition: info = elem;Type getInfo() const;//Function to return the info of the node.//Postcondition: The value of info is returned.void setLink(nodeType<Type>…arrow_forwardThis one in c++.arrow_forward
- java Declare a generic interface called Pair that takes two type parameters K and V. This interface has two methods getKey that returns a value of type K, and getValue that returns a value of type V. Write a class OrderedPair implementing the Pair interface. The class has two instance variables which are key (of type K) and value (of type V). Define the constructor of the class OrderedPair that initializes the instance variables. In a class named Util, define a generic method, compare, which compares two Pair objects. Based on equals method inherited from the Object class, returns true if the keys and values of the two pairs are equal. Test your compare method. Write and test a generic method countGreaterThan that receives an array from any type that implements the Comparable interface and a parameter e of the same type. The method counts and returns the array elements that are greater than e.arrow_forwardin c++ uses Templates, but Java uses Generic classes which one is better or you will choose which one why?arrow_forwardThis in c++.arrow_forward
