[1349.40 --> 1350.00] this code
[1350.00 --> 1351.56] in C++,
[1351.82 --> 1352.60] we have to have,
[1352.70 --> 1353.52] we have to use
[1353.52 --> 1354.68] this kind of code
[1354.68 --> 1355.38] with templates
[1355.38 --> 1356.82] to plug in something
[1356.82 --> 1357.78] into something else,
[1357.78 --> 1359.08] to even be able
[1359.08 --> 1359.76] to do that,
[1359.82 --> 1360.64] to just plug in
[1360.64 --> 1361.38] some functionality
[1361.38 --> 1362.32] into something else
[1362.32 --> 1363.34] that it's not aware of.
[1363.44 --> 1363.62] Again,
[1363.72 --> 1364.64] because interfaces,
[1365.24 --> 1365.38] well,
[1365.50 --> 1367.00] C++ doesn't have interfaces.
[1367.22 --> 1368.06] It has classes
[1368.06 --> 1369.52] where you can define
[1369.52 --> 1370.84] functions as pure virtual,
[1371.44 --> 1372.20] so it doesn't have
[1372.20 --> 1373.48] to have all the implementation.
[1374.36 --> 1374.84] But,
[1375.08 --> 1376.80] whatever object you have,
[1376.84 --> 1377.76] you cannot pass in
[1377.76 --> 1378.30] as another
[1378.30 --> 1379.62] unless it implements,
[1380.08 --> 1381.40] it extends
[1381.40 --> 1382.72] or is essentially
[1382.72 --> 1384.04] a class.
[1384.62 --> 1385.62] But in this case,
[1385.62 --> 1387.18] you define your own
[1387.18 --> 1388.84] event handler,
[1389.08 --> 1389.52] obviously,
[1389.66 --> 1390.54] nobody knows,
[1390.98 --> 1391.54] you can't really
[1391.54 --> 1392.42] pass in
[1392.42 --> 1393.66] or use in this code
[1393.66 --> 1394.40] any class
[1394.40 --> 1394.74] that you didn't
[1394.74 --> 1395.44] write yourself.
[1395.96 --> 1396.38] So,
[1396.46 --> 1397.16] you get stuck
[1397.16 --> 1398.18] and this is why
[1398.18 --> 1399.34] you use generics
[1399.34 --> 1400.42] in many,
[1400.52 --> 1401.08] many languages.
[1401.42 --> 1402.24] It's for this case
[1402.24 --> 1403.46] and that was why
[1403.46 --> 1404.36] for many,
[1404.50 --> 1405.04] many years
[1405.04 --> 1405.96] people would say,
[1406.08 --> 1406.12] well,
[1406.16 --> 1406.66] why do you need
[1406.66 --> 1407.26] interfaces?
[1407.74 --> 1408.30] Why do you need
[1408.30 --> 1409.06] generics when you
[1409.06 --> 1409.78] have interfaces?
[1410.26 --> 1411.14] But the truth is
[1411.14 --> 1411.84] that you do need
[1411.84 --> 1413.08] generics for the cases
[1413.08 --> 1414.84] where the behavior
[1414.84 --> 1416.26] of the class
[1416.26 --> 1417.00] is derived
[1417.00 --> 1419.04] by the type.
[1419.70 --> 1419.88] So,
[1420.10 --> 1420.70] for instance,
[1421.20 --> 1422.68] next node
[1422.68 --> 1424.12] in a linked list.
[1424.76 --> 1424.92] So,
[1425.42 --> 1426.22] the next is going
[1426.22 --> 1426.76] to return
[1426.76 --> 1427.58] the same type
[1427.58 --> 1428.00] of node
[1428.00 --> 1428.74] and if your node
[1428.74 --> 1429.20] is holding
[1429.20 --> 1429.72] an integer
[1429.72 --> 1430.46] or a float
[1430.46 --> 1431.04] or whatever
[1431.04 --> 1432.08] type of value,
[1432.32 --> 1432.92] it's going
[1432.92 --> 1433.90] to be different.
[1434.42 --> 1435.20] A repository
[1435.20 --> 1436.00] that stores
[1436.00 --> 1437.16] any kind of model.
[1437.70 --> 1438.22] A map
[1438.22 --> 1439.18] with a key
[1439.18 --> 1440.26] value.
[1440.38 --> 1440.98] By the way,
[1441.48 --> 1442.42] go always
[1442.42 --> 1443.28] hot generics.
[1443.28 --> 1443.88] Actually,
[1443.98 --> 1444.56] that would be
[1444.56 --> 1445.90] my unpopular
[1445.90 --> 1446.34] opinion.
[1446.80 --> 1447.24] Go always
[1447.24 --> 1447.94] hot generics
[1447.94 --> 1448.94] because map
[1448.94 --> 1449.82] is a generic
