Code

struct Point<T> {
    x: T,
    y: T,
}

impl<T: std::fmt::Display> Point<T> {
    fn display(&self) {
        println!("({}, {})", self.x, self.y);
    }
}

fn main() {
    let integer_point = Point { x: 5, y: 10 };
    let float_point = Point { x: 1.0, y: 4.0 };
    integer_point.display();
    float_point.display();
}

Explanation

Structs can have generic type parameters.
