Program Plan Intro
Generic Class:
- It is a class in which the class name is followed by the type parameter section.
- In generic class, one or more type arguments are separated by commas.
- The programmers are enabled to specify a single class declaration with a set of related type.

Java:
Code a generic class called Location that describes a point in the xy plane. The Location class requires instances variables to represent the x and y coordinates, a parameterized constructor, one method to change both coordinates of the point (both x and y), getX and getY methods and a toString. These are the only methods in this class. The class uses a generic type so that any numeric value can be used for the coordinates (2 integers, 2 floats, 2 doubles, etc) or 2 Strings (for example three and ten).
Write a code segment in main( ) to thoroughly test the class Location. Your code segment should create two locations, one represented by a pair of real numbers and one represented by a pair of Strings.
The difference between overloading and generics can be explained. Ad hoc polymorphism is sometimes referred to as what?
what is the generic term for a method that creates an instance of a class (constructors?) and how would you call it for a class named MyClass that does not take any parameters in PYTHON?

- java Declare a generic interface called Pair that takes two type parameters K and V. This interface has two methods getKey that returns a value of type K, and getValue that returns a value of type V. Write a class OrderedPair implementing the Pair interface. The class has two instance variables which are key (of type K) and value (of type V). Define the constructor of the class OrderedPair that initializes the instance variables. In a class named Util, define a generic method, compare, which compares two Pair objects. Based on equals method inherited from the Object class, returns true if the keys and values of the two pairs are equal. Test your compare method.
