assertions,Collections,Generics

Collection is used for storing objects ,data etc in a tree , linked list etc.

-> suppose u want 2 objects to be stored u use a linked list or a vector

Generics are templates

ie suppose u don't know the datatype of parameters that will be passed to a func

eg

1 swap(int a, int b)

2 swap (float a,float b)

3 swap(string a,string b)

where swap func swaps the value of a ,b in all 3 cases

u know that ur login for all the 3 cases is same but the parameters passed will be of different type(int ,float,string)

instead of using overloaded func and doing the reword

u can use generic template will will handle all of the data at runtime

What material did you go through, and what didn't you understand?
