description Replace Type with Generic Overview
When a piece of code handles multiple, but related, types (e.g., processing `List` and `List`), this refactoring allows you to generalize the type parameter, replacing the specific type with a generic placeholder `T`. This maximizes code reuse by abstracting the specific type while retaining type safety.
