You often need flexibility in your class methods, especially when a method should work with a variety of types. In these situations, you can define a generic method within a class. A generic method allows you to specify a type parameter only for that method, rather than for the entire class. This is particularly useful when only one or a few methods require type flexibility, while the rest of the class remains type-specific.

By contrast, a generic class makes the entire class generic, meaning all properties and methods can use the generic type parameter. You should use a generic class when the type flexibility is needed across the whole class—for example, when storing or managing collections of different types.

Choose a generic method when only a specific method needs to be generic, and use a generic class when the entire class or most of its members need to work with a generic type.
