Generic programing

 Definition of a Simple Generic Class

public class Aken<T>{

      private T first;

      priavte T second;

      public Aken(){

           first=null;

           second=null;

      }

      public T getFirst(){

           return first;

      }

      public T getsSecond(){

           return second;

      }

      public void setFirst(T first){

           this.first=first;

      }

      public void setSecond(T second){

           this.second=second;

      }

}

in order to restrict the T Type we can create Class as follow:

class AkenSupport<T extends List>{
 private T first;
    private T second;
    public AkenSupport(){
         first=null;
         second=null;
    }

    public T getFirst(){

         return first;

    }

    public T getsSecond(){

         return second;

    }

    public void setFirst(T first){

         this.first=first;

    }

    public void setSecond(T second){
     this.second=second;
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     Aken<String> aken=new Aken<String>();
     aken.setFirst("hello");
     aken.setSecond("world");
    

 }
 
}

and  you may need more bounds you can :

class AkenSupport1<T extends List & Set>{
}

 

 

In summary,you need to remember these facts about translation of java generics;

There are no generics in the virtual machines,only ordinary classes and methods

All type parameters are replaced by their bounds;

Bridge methods are synthesized to preserve polymorplism

Casts are inserted as necessary to preserve type safety

Type Parameters Cannot Be Instantiated with Primitive Types

You Cannot Throw or Catch Instances of a Generic Class

You cannot Instantiate Type Variables

Type Variables are not valid in static contexts of generic classes

Wildcard Types

Aken<? extends ArrayList>
