How to cast generic List types in java?

Question

Well, I have a class Customer (no base class).

I need to cast from LinkedList to List. Is there any clean way to do this?

Just so you know, I need to cast it

Answer 1

LinkedList implements List, so you can implement

List< String > list1 = new LinkedList< String >(); 

Or do you want to cast from LinkedList< String > to List< int >? in this case you have to pick every single element and convert it to an integer.
