julia> isgeneric(sum)
truejulia> function add(a, b)

end
julia> isgeneric(add)
falsejulia> struct Person
name::String
age::Int
end
julia> isgeneric(Person)
falsejulia> isgeneric(+)
trueCommon mistake example:
julia> isgeneric(5)
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching isgeneric(::Int64)In this example, the isgeneric function is applied to a non-function type (Int64). Remember that isgeneric is meant to check if a given object is a generic function, so it should be used with function objects.
