I'm going through O'Reilly's Java Generics and Collections by Maurice Naftalin and Philip Wadler to gain the necessary understanding of Java generics to effectively use it. I mentioned this book 53 days ago.
Here's something that surprised me. Can you guess if the following two classes will compile? And why?
import java.util.*;
class Foo {
public Integer foo(List list) {
return null;
}
public String foo(List list) {
return null;
}
}
import java.util.*;
class Bar {
public Integer bar(List<Integer> integers) {
return null;
}
public String bar(List<String> strings) {
return null;
}
}
