Show hintHide hint
Think about how Java helps us avoid writing types explicitly.
Question 2.
Can you use type inference with primitive types?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the limitations mentioned in the section.
3Question 3.
What does type inference allow the compiler to do?
- Automatically determine variable types
- Require explicit type definitions
- Reject generic types

Think about the benefits of reducing verbosity.
4Question 4.
True or False: Type inference can be used with primitive types.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the limitations of generics.

Show hintHide hint
Think about how the return type is determined from the argument passed.
Question 6.
Discuss how type inference affects method overloading in Java when using generics. Provide examples.
