When is it Appropriate to use Generics Versus Inheritance?

Question

What are the situations and their associated benefits of using Generics over Inheritance and vice-versa, and how should they be best combined?

Thanks for the answer

Answer 1

Neither inheritance nor parameterized types can change at run-time

Inheritance lets you provide default implementations for operations and lets subclasses override them.

Parameterized types let you change the types that a class can use.

But Which approach is best depends on your design and implementation constraints
