Creating a Generic Class

Essential Java

Generics enable classes, interfaces, and methods to take other classes and interfaces as type parameters. This example uses generic class Param to take a single type parameter T , delimited by angle b...

Obtain class that satisfies generic parameter at runtime

Essential Java

Many unbound generic parameters, like those used in a static method, cannot be recovered at runtime (see Other Threads on Erasure ). However there is a common strategy employed for accessing the type ...

Generics

Codecademy

Generics refer to the ability to use a type as a parameter to methods and classes . This provides the ability to define a set of related classes or methods that can operate on many different types wit...

Data Types

Codecademy

In Java, each variable has a property known as its data type which determines what kind of data can be stored in that variable. Data types are divided into two categories, primitive data types and ref...

Strengthen bounded type parameters

Essential Java

Bounded type parameters allow you to set restrictions on generic type arguments: class SomeClass { } class Demo<T extends SomeClass { } But a type parameter can only bind to a single class type. An in...

Atomic Types

Essential Java

Introduction Java Atomic Types are simple mutable types that provide basic operations that are thread-safe and atomic without resorting to locking. They are intended for use in cases where locking wou...

Restriction on Generics

Learn Java

Cannot Instantiate Generic Types with Primitive Types Consider the following parameterized type: When creating a Pair object, you cannot substitute a primitive type for the type parameter K or V : Yo...

Type Erasure

Learn Java

Erasure of Generic Types Generics were introduced to the Java language to provide tighter type checks at compile time and to support generic programming. To implement generics, the Java compiler appl...

Specifying a varargs parameter

Essential Java

void doSomething(String... strings) { for (String s : strings) { System.out.println(s); } } The three periods after the final parameter’s type indicate that the final argument may be passed as an arra...

Annotations for this and receiver parameters

Essential Java

When Java annotations were first introduced there was no provision for annotating the target of an instance method or the hidden constructor parameter for an inner classes constructor. This was remedi...

Type Erasure in Java…

Javarevisited

The process of imposing type constraints at compile-time and discard the element type information at runtime.In the other words, the compiler replaces a generic parameter with the actual class or brid...
