Generics and Polymorphism

Java / By

In the previous two articles related to Generics we learned about generics usage and concepts. In this article, let us focus on the aspect of polymorphism and how generics support polymorphism. In general, polymorphism applies to the base type of the collection. For example, the following code creates an ArrayList which can hold Integers. Note that in the following code the base type is List and sub type is ArrayList(since ArrayList is a sub class of List). List<Integer> numberList = new ArrayList<Integer>(); In the above code snippet, List and ArrayList are ‘base’ types and Integer is the generic type. Because

Selection of a project is important for the organizational success. There are a lot of things that have to be managed well. A weak selection of the project is followed by its weak implementation and hence a project failure.  There are some factors that affect the project and will guide a project to its completion.  There are five factors of project constraint that affect any project – scope, time, cost, risk and quality. Organizations encounters many problems, opportunities and the directives. Here, we explore three factors for selection of projects: Defining problem areas:  The projects are selected due to the

Java Virtual Machine

Java / By

Whenever we are asked what makes java different from other programming languages, the first answer that pop-up in our mind is “Java is platform independent”, and Java Virtual Machine is simply held responsible for this. But have we ever thought that what actually was the need of platform independence and how java is platform independent? Or what exactly JVM does? Well, you can find the answers to these questions, below. A code written in any programming language is very closely bound to the specific hardware and operating system it runs on. For example, a Mac application can’ run on a

Understanding Generics

Java / By

In the previous article, we learned about the basics of generics and its usage. In this article, we’ll go one level down and understand the semantics of generics and how compiler handles generics code. To quickly recap, generics provides compile-time safety. When we provide the type information in the angle brackets (< … >), the compiler will use this type of information to make sure that we do not put objects with different type into the collection. This safety check happens at compile time only. Generics can also be used for method parameters for the type safety of arguments, and

JAVA GENERICS – BASIC USAGE

Java / By

Generics is an important feature of Java which was introduced in the version 1.5. Generics allows us to create generalized collections and provides a way of type safety at compile time. Generalized collections means any collection from java.util package which only accepts a particular type. For example, an ArrayList of String objects can be considered as a generalized list. With the help of Generics, we can ensure that our ArrayListor of any other collection only accepts any specific type of objects. This safety check is done at compile time. Before the introduction of Generics (Java 1.4 and previous versions), developers
