Type Inference and Erasure
Explore how Java's compiler infers generic types using the diamond operator and var keyword to reduce verbosity. Understand type erasure's impact on runtime classes, method overloading, and type safety, enabling you to write cleaner, error-free generic code.

When working with generics in Java, much of the heavy lifting happens at compile time. The compiler acts as a smart assistant, deducing types so we do not have to write verbose code. However, once the code compiles, the Java Virtual Machine handles generic types in a very specific way to support legacy systems.
