Why Generic in front of return type (Java)?

Question

Java

Why Generic in front of return type? what is the purpose of Generic before void
public <T> String method() {...}
public <T> void method() {...}

Answer 1

In the example - there is no point, this generic can simply be removed. It makes sense in a situation where the method signature must be generic. for examplepublic <T> String method(T t) {...}

Answer 2

This is the syntax for declaring methods that work with generic parameters.
