public static <T> void func1(T arr) {

    ...

}

public static <T> void func2(T arr) {

    ...

}

I'm trying to pass a 2-dimensional array, int arr.

I cannot use func1(arr) , but I can use func2(arr)

Can someone explain me how this works?

T represents an array of some generic object. Any array type (including int) is an object. Therefore, int is a valid T when T = int.

However, because int is not an object, int is not a valid T.

To expand on this, you could change it to Integer arr; and it should work.

@LadyCailin true, but in most cases when you need multi-dimensional arrays, it is really bad idea to use wrapper types

If you you use Integer instead of int, you should be able to:

call func1 with Integer arr

call func2 with Integer arr or Integer arr
