I believe for our purposes it suffices to describe generics as the ability to
write something like (I'm too lazy to look up the exact syntax):
ArrayList<Double> myArray = new ArrayList()<Double> ;
Double d ;
int position = 0 ;
myArray.add( new Double( 1.0 ) ) ;
// Here's the part where generics make life easier. Look, Ma, no cast:
d = myArray.get( position ) ;
