Nested Generics with Wildcards

Question

Why does this work:

List list = new LinkedList();

while this gives a type dismatch error:

List

        

Answer 1

I know this is and post, but I don't seem how the answers fixed c0d3x's problem.

If you do

List> list = new LinkedList>();

How is he gonna call this method for each inner Integer list in the outer list?

public void doSomeThingWithAIntegerList(List list){
    for(Integer i : list){
        // use it for some purpose
    }
}
