auto binding (type inference) of generic types by the compiler

Question

the following code has compilation error in the line of t3:

public  List getList()
{
    return new ArrayList();
}
public  vo         


        

Answer 1

Try casting it to the type T.

    public  List getList()
    {
        return new ArrayList();
    }
    public  void first()
    {
        List ret = new ArrayList();
        List list = getList();
        T t1 = ret.get(0);
        T t2 = list.get(0);
        T t3 = (T) getList().get(0);
    }
