The basic difference between generic and non-generic collections: - Non-Generic collections - These are the collections that can hold elements of different data types. It holds all elements as object type. So it includes overhead of type conversions. - Generic collections - These are the collections that can hold data of same type and we can decide what type of data that collections can hold. Some advantages of generic collections - Type Safe Secure reduced overhead of type conversions.
