java 二元运算符 '&&' 的操作数类型错误,二元运算符的错误操作数类型“>”？...

I am writing a BST Program. I get the error:

"Bad Operand Types for Binary Operator ">"

first type: java.lang.Object

second type: java.lang.Object"

This is the method where it gives me the error:

public void placeNodeInTree(TreeNode current, TreeNode t)

{

if(current == null)

current = t;

else{

if(current.getValue() > t.getValue())

current.setRight(t);

if(current.getValue() < t.getValue())

current.setLeft(t);

}

}

getValue() has a return type of Object, thus the java.lang.Object types. This is the first time I have ever seen this error. Can anyone give me some background on this error? Thanks

Sure - you simply can't apply the > operator between objects. What would you expect it to do? You can't apply any of the other binary operators either - +, -, / etc (with the exception of string concatenation).

Ideally, you should make your TreeNode generic, and either have a Comparator which is able to compare any two instances, or make T extend Comparable. Either way, you can then compare them with:

int comparisonResult = comparator.compare(current.getValue(), t.getValue());

if (comparisonResult > 0) {

// current "greater than" t

} else if (comparisonResult < 0) {

// current "less than" t

} else {

// Equal

}

or

int comparisonResult = current.getValue().compareTo(t.getValue());

// Code as before

Without generics you could cast the values to Comparable or still use a general Comparator... but generics would be a better bet.
