How to implement a generic `max(Comparable a, Comparable b)` function in Java?

Question

I\'m trying to write a generic max function that takes two Comparables.

So far I have

public static &g         


        

Answer 1

You get this error because Comparable basically says that it is comparable to something without any specifics. You should write Comparable instead, so the compiler would know that type T is comparable to itself.
