Challenge 1: Comparing GetType() Across Type Arguments — Possible Solution ==================================================================== Program.cs: List strings = new(); List ints = new(); // Unlike java2-1's own Java example -- where strings.getClass() == // ints.getClass() returns TRUE, because Java erases List and // List down to the exact same raw List class -- C#'s // reification means List and List genuinely ARE // different runtime types. The CLR keeps real type information for // each type argument, so GetType() correctly reports them as // distinct, rather than collapsing them into one shared type the way // Java's erasure does. Console.WriteLine(strings.GetType() == ints.GetType()); Output: False WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This directly mirrors java2-1's own opening example but produces the opposite result, with the comment correctly explaining WHY in terms of reification vs. erasure -- the chapter's own central claim.
