Incompatible Types Error in Java

Question

I keep receiving an error that says that there are incompatible types. I copied this directly out of a book because we are supposed to make changes to the code to enhance the ga

Answer 1

Change Object to E as the push() method's parameter type.

public void push(E target) {
    if (isFull()) {
        stretch();
    }
    data[size] = target;
    size++;
}

Likewise, you should also change the declare return type of pop() and peek() to E.

public E pop() {
    if (isEmpty()) {
        throw new EmptyStructureException();
    }
    size--;
    return data[size];
}

public E peek() {
    if (isEmpty()) {
        throw new EmptyStructureException();
    }
    return data[size - 1];
}

Now your class is fully generic.
