generics Interface in java

/*We know that Java inheritance allows us to assign a variable A to another variable B if A is subclass of B. So we might think that any generic type of A can be assigned to generic type of B, but it’s not the case. Let’s see this with a simple program.

We are not allowed to assign MyClass<String> variable to MyClass<Object> variable because they are not related, in fact MyClass<T> parent is Object.*/
package com.journaldev.generics;

public class GenericsInheritance {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		String str = "abc";
		Object obj = new Object();
		obj=str; // works because String is-a Object, inheritance in java
		
		MyClass<String> myClass1 = new MyClass<String>();
		MyClass<Object> myClass2 = new MyClass<Object>();
		//myClass2=myClass1; // compilation error since MyClass<String> is not a MyClass<Object>
		obj = myClass1; // MyClass<T> parent is Object
	}
	
	public static class MyClass<T>{}

}

generics Interface in java

/*Notice that while using this class, we have to use type casting and it can produce ClassCastException at runtime. Now we will use java generic class to rewrite the same class as shown below.*/
package com.journaldev.generics;

public class GenericsType<T> {

	private T t;
	
	public T get(){
		return this.t;
	}
	
	public void set(T t1){
		this.t=t1;
	}
	
	public static void main(String args[]){
		GenericsType<String> type = new GenericsType<>();
		type.set("Pankaj"); //valid
		
		GenericsType type1 = new GenericsType(); //raw type
		type1.set("Pankaj"); //valid
		type1.set(10); //valid and autoboxing support
	}
}
/*Notice the use of GenericsType class in the main method. We don’t need to do type-casting and we can remove ClassCastException at runtime. If we don’t provide the type at the time of creation, the compiler will produce a warning that “GenericsType is a raw type.

References to generic type GenericsType<T> should be parameterized”. When we don’t provide the type, the type becomes Object and hence it’s allowing both String and Integer objects. But, we should always try to avoid this because we will have to use type casting while working on raw type that can produce runtime errors.

Tip: We can use @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes") annotation to suppress the compiler warning, check out java annotations tutorial.*/
