Generics in the .NET Framework are a powerful feature that allow you to define classes, interfaces, and methods with a placeholder for the data type. This enables type safety, code reusability, and performance improvements by avoiding boxing/unboxing and type casting.

 Why Use Generics?

1. Type Safety: Errors are caught at compile time rather than runtime.
2. Performance: Avoids boxing/unboxing for value types.
3. Code Reusability: Write a single class or method that works with any data type.

 Built-in Generic Types

• List<T>
• Dictionary<TKey, TValue>
• Queue<T>, Stack<T>
• Nullable<T> (for value types)
