Generic Methods

• When calling a generic method, you need not instantiate the type variables:

  Rectangle[] rectangles = . . .;
  ArrayUtil.print(rectangles);

• The compiler deduces that E is Rectangle
• You can also define generic methods that are not static
• You can even have generic methods in generic classes
• Cannot replace type variables with primitive types
  e.g.: cannot use the generic print method to print an array of type int[]
