Chapter 11, Working with Generics

1. Generics is the ability to write code that is able to be used with different data types without being limited to a single type. It is a powerful mechanism, supported by most programming languages, and allows us to write flexible, reusable code.
2. The main components of Go generics are type parameters, type constraints, type arguments, and type inferences:
   1. Type parameters are the placeholder types that will be used in our generic code, typically denoted by a single letter.
   2. Type constraints restrict the types that can be used with our generic function or type.
   3. Type arguments are the types that are passed to the function upon invocation. They replace the type parameters and satisfy the type constraints.
   4. Type inference is the process that takes place under the hood to determine the type of a variable, without us needing to explicitly declare it. This makes generic code less verbose.
3. Testing generic code with table-driven tests will often involve...
