Hi Ramiro,
By using a generic method, we can declare the method without a specific type
and then get the
type information based on the type of the object passed to the method.
The strangest thing about generic methods is that you must declare the type
variable BEFORE the return type of the method.
The <P> before P simply defines what P is before you use it as a type in the
argument.
Here you take an object of an unknown type and use a "P" to represent the
type
The method will also returns an object of unknown type "P"
HTH,
