We prove that the monoid of generic extensions of finite-dimensional nilpotent k[T]-modules is isomorphic to the monoid of partitions (with addition of partitions). This gives us a simple method for computing generic extensions, by addition of partitions. Moreover we give a combinatorial algorithm that calculates the constant terms of classical Hall polynomials.
