What tasks would you solve using Generics in Java (excluding collections)?

Generics in Java allow writing generic code that works with different types while ensuring type safety during compilation.

Besides collections, I have used Generics for:

• Utility classes and methods — for example, methods for copying, comparing, or transforming objects of different types.
• Generic interfaces and abstractions — when describing behavior that does not depend on a specific data type.
• Data processing in IoT — for example, generic classes for working with sensor data of various types (temperature, humidity, pressure) to avoid code duplication.

Example of a method with Generics:

public <T> void processData(T data) {
    System.out.println(data.toString());
}

This allows writing flexible and reusable code without losing type safety.
