what’s the error message if you don’t change to Any?

That i need to specify the type, but i want a generic like in java, for example only Validator type without passing type, is it possible?

[bruno.gsantos89]

A simple example could be, a fun that receives a generic Comparator with param:

fun generic(comparator: Comparator)

[menegatti]

you need to update validateForm to fun <T> validateForm(validator: Validator<T>) {}

[bruno.gsantos89]

Alright nice, in java form is not possible alright? Without pass arg type?

[menegatti]

not sure, I guess not

[bruno.gsantos89]

ok thank you!!!

[etibaldi]

even though type erasure is still a thing at runtime (because of the JVM), Kotlin explicitely forbids erasing type at compile time to avoid ambiguities.

Nice explanation, thank you
