parameterized type
[ˌpærəˈmɛtəraɪzd taɪp]
nounpl: parameterized types
tipo parametrizado
1. A generic type that accepts one or more type parameters, allowing the same class or interface to work with different data types while maintaining type safety
In Java, List<String> is a parameterized type where List is the generic type and String is the type parameter.
Em Java, List<String> é um tipo parametrizado onde List é o tipo genérico e String é o parâmetro de tipo.
2. A compile-time construct in programming languages that enables generic programming by allowing types to be abstracted over other types
The parameterized type HashMap<String, Integer> specifies that the map uses String keys and Integer values.
O tipo parametrizado HashMap<String, Integer> especifica que o mapa usa chaves String e valores Integer.
This is a specialized technical term used primarily in software development, particularly in Java and C++ communities. The concept became widely adopted after Java 5 introduced generics, and the terminology is consistent across English-speaking and Portuguese-speaking programming communities, with 'tipo parametrizado' being the standard translation in Brazilian Portuguese technical documentation.
