AI translates the explanation and quiz text while preserving code and answer scoring.

Functions and types can take type parameters with constraints, e.g. `func Map[T, U any](s []T, f func(T) U) []U`. Constraints are interfaces listing methods or type sets. Use generics for genuinely reusable containers and algorithms, not to replace clear concrete code.

How to study this topic

  1. 1. Read the explanation once end to end, skipping the code.
  2. 2. Re-read the code snippets and say out loud what each line does.
  3. 3. Answer the quiz without scrolling back — that is the real check.
  4. 4. Read every explanation, even for the answers you got right.
