Casting To Parameterized Types And Unchecked Warnings
Jul 15, 2014
There is a sentence in JLS 7 which I can't figure it out. It says :
A cast from a type S to a parameterized type T is unchecked unless at least one of the following conditions holds:
-S <: T
-All of the type arguments (§4.5.1) of T are unbounded wildcards
-T <: S and S has no subtype X other than T where the type arguments of X are not contained in the type arguments of T.
Condition one and two I got it. But the number three is really bugging me. I write some code in order to try to understand it.
class G<X>{}
class D<T,U> extends G<T>{}
G<String> g = new G<>();
D<String, Integer> dd = (D<String, Integer>) g;
In Eclipse I got no warning but it shouldn't give one ?
Because g has others subtypes than D<String, Integer> (e.g. D<String, List> , D<String, G>)
Am I missing something about the contained type arguments ?

import java.util.*;
public class CommonElements
{
private int comparisons; // number of comparisons made
private Comparable[] arrayToSearch; // current array being traversed
private Comparable[] commonElements = new Comparable[10];
private int arrayPosition = 0; //keeps track of what index to add an element to common at
[Code] ...
I have trying to get this down to the bar minimum. I am trying to cast the desired object array to a array of comparable. This is all required by the assignment.
I am getting a runtime error that I can not perform the desired cast. What do I need to provide the compiler in order to allow for this casting. I can not change the signature of the method however nothing about the class has been specified do I need to implement comparable? Also I don not now what the client is passing so how would I write a generic compareTo method to compare object of unknown types.

My objective here is to process a HashMap's key's in order. I found SortedSet as a way to do it.
The HashMap is like this:
nobelPrizeWinners = new HashMap<String, PrizeWinner[]>();
// 2009:
nobelPrizeWinners.put(new String ("2009 Physics"), new PrizeWinner[] {new PrizeWinner("Charles K.", "Kao"), new PrizeWinner("Willard S.", "Boyle"), new PrizeWinner("George S.", "Smith")});
[Code] ....
This is the method I am trying to write
public void displayAllYearsAndWinners_2()
{
// Creation of the SortedSet
SortedSet sortedSet = new TreeSet();
[Code] ....
However, the compiler gives me a warning of NobelPrizeWinners.java uses unchecked or unsafe operations. Recompile with -Xlint:unchecked for details.
As I said, my objective here is to process them in order. If this compiler warning cannot be resolved, I am open to other methods of accomplishing my objective.

I know checked exception need to be checked at compile time and runtime exception need not be checked at compile time.
My question is not related to the definition.
The question is on what basis have they selected that FileNotFound exception is a checked exception and NullPointerException is an unchecked exception? Is it the random wish of the creator or is there reason behind why something is selected as checked exception and something as unchecked?

I have set up a project in Eclipse 3.1 and am using java 5.0 compiler.
Here's my folder structure in Eclipse
Java Code:
DFSRemoteClientTestClient.java mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
DFS is the project in Eclipse
And this is how it looks my java class
Java Code:
package RemoteClient;
import java.util.*;
// other imports
public class TestClient {
public static void main(String [] args) throws ServiceInvocationException {
// business logic here ....
}
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
So, basically, my java class is just a simple class with a main function.
Now when I build my project, using Project->Clean...
Then I get this as an error at the very first line where i specify the package
This is the error:
Java Code: The type Class is not generic; it cannot be parameterized with arguments <T> mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
What's this error and why am I getting this.

I am getting "Type safety: Unchecked cast from Object to LinkedList<EventData>" in eclipse for a piece of code stated below
public LinkedList<EventData> loadFromFile(File file) {
queue=new LinkedList<EventData>();
//Some piece of code
return (LinkedList<EventData>)queue.clone(); //--->getting warning here
}
I know that because clone() method is returning Object, hence compiler doesn't have type information that's why showing warning. I don't want to suppress this warning instead i want to fix it.

I am trying to compare some items from a generic arraylist with each other, but I keep getting an error stating that I need to cast the values in line 38. However, when I heed the warning and change it to what it wants, I get a warning stating "type safety: Unchecked cast from K to Comparable<K>". Should I ignore this warning or is there a better way to compare the two items? Also, is there another way for me to use compareTo w/o making my class extending/implementing comparable or is that the only way?Here is what I have:
class WordInfo<K, V extends Comparable <K>> {
private FileReader fr;
private String word;
private ArrayList<K> list;
private BufferedReader br;
private int current = 0;
[code]....

I have studied that Generics are used to shift the Class Cast Exception into Compile time errors , So that we get errors at compile time error and we do correct them before executing ,but Here is a program in which i am getting Class Cast Exception
class Animal
{
}
class Dog extends Animal
{
}
class Cat extends Animal
[code]..
Getting Exception at line no 29 which i know why it occurs but just wanna ask that isn't it should be caught at compile time According to Generics ?

The following code snippet will print 'true'.
short s = Short.MAX_VALUE;
char c = s;
System.out.println( c == Short.MAX_VALUE);
Correct Option is : B
A. True
B. False
Explanation:
This will not compile because a short VARIABLE can NEVER be assigned to a char without explicit casting. A short CONSTANT can be assigned to a char only if the value fits into a char.
short s = 1; byte b = s; => this will also not compile because although value is small enough to be held by a byte but the Right Hand Side i.e. s is a variable and not a constant. final short s = 1; byte b = s; => This is fine because s is a constant and the value fits into a byte. final short s = 200; byte b = s; => This is invalid because although s is a constant but the value does not fit into a byte. Implicit narrowing occurs only for byte, char, short, and int. Remember that it does not
occur for long, float, or double. So, this will not compile: int i = 129L;The below code compiles fine and contradicts what is said in bold. So what does the bold statement mean then?
Java Code: class BreakTest{
public static void main(String args[])
{
float f=1.0f;
double d=f;
}
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

I'm looking for a heuristic explanation of how to think of an "interface" as a type. I'm used to think of the 'type' of a class coming form its very definition but I often see casting to an interface which I still feel very uncomfortable about.Other than an interface, are there other unusual ways a 'type' may be referred to?
A second basic question: When you user 'super.f()', will Java go up the calling chain until it finds method 'f' (and report an err if none is found) or does it expect to find 'f' immediately at its very first parent?

I have to create a program that uses the Scanner in String input and Output that will enable the user to convert
double -> int
int -> byte
int -> short
int -> hex-string
The output should look something like this:
Syntax: convert <value> <type>
convert 15.5 int~> 16
convert 128 byte~> -128
<type>: int, byte, short, hex, decimal
Syntax: max <type>
max byte~> 127
<type>: int, byte, short

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
public class Guesser {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
char[] alphabet = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890 .,:;'-".toCharArray();
[Code] .....
I'm writing a program which will take a three letter word (for now) and then try to guess the word over and over again until it finds it, then print the word and the amount of tries it took to find it.
The problem: at the moment the program will find the word but not break out of the for loop when it does. I think it doesn't like the char to String conversion somewhere along the line.

calling a parameterized stored procedure in java jdbc from sql server.The stored procedure goes like this in sql
create proc patientreg
@id int
as
begin
select [patient_id],[Psurname], [pFirstname], [pMiddlename], [reg_date], [DOB], [Sex], [Phone_num], [Addr],[Email],[dbo].[fncomputeage](DOB) from [dbo].[Patient_registration] where [patient_id] = @id
end
please note dbo.fncompute(DOB) is a function
To call it in jdbc it goes like this
try{
String str = "{call patientreg(?)}";
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbcdbc:GeneralHospit al");
cstmt = con.prepareCall(str);
cstmt.setInt(1, Integer.parseInt(t.getText()));
[code]....
after doing it this way it throwing an exception: Error:java.sql.SQLException: Parameter 1 is not an OUTPUT parameter.

"Type Casting" .... So the question is "How am I getting a number with two decimal places as output?"
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SalesTax
{
public static void main(String[] args) {
double purchase, tax;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter purchase amount: ");
purchase = input.nextDouble();
tax = purchase * 0.06;
System.out.println("Sales Tax: $" + (int)(tax * 100) / 100.0); +//this will give two decimal places??+

Why the following is happening.
For the below code, when I execute it, it prints
Short method 10 //result 1
Sub class short method 10 //result 2
Which is as expected but if I comment out line 3, then it prints
Integer method 10 //result 3
Integer method 10 //result 4
I can understand result 3 is because of an upcast from short to int, since FunWithOverloading will not have a overloaded method with short now. However, what is happening with result 4? Shouldn't it call methodA of the subclass with the argument type short? If its because I have declared the reference variable, derived, of the type FunWithOverloading, then how come the first result correctly picks the overloaded method of the sub class?
class FunWithOverloading{
void methodA(int x){System.out.println("Integer method " + x);}
void methodA(short x){System.out.println("Short method " + x);} //line 3
} class OverloadedSubClass extends FunWithOverloading{
void methodA(short x){System.out.println("Sub class short method " + x);}
[Code] ....

For basic arrays, we can directly combine declaration and initialization as E.g: int[] num= new int[2]
But can we do this do for forming class object arrays? like
class stu
{
.....
}
stu[] s=new stu[2]
????

how objects relate to classes and how you can create and re-use object types.on that point, but this has me baffled. I most certainly do not have a firm grasp yet on passing things to and from methods that just makes my head hurt. SO anyway I tried out one of the code examples:
/* ElectricGuitar.java */
class ElectricGuitar {
String brand;
int numOfPickups;
boolean rockStarUsesIt;
[code]...
But I just realized this thing has no main method and only one class defined.....so I guess I just tried to compile.

This bit of code isnt working, it has something to do with incompatible types for fname

I am trying to understand the concept of Generics in java. In the introduction to Generic Types, this example is given:
Java Code: public class Box {
private Object object;
public void set(Object object) { this.object = object; }
public Object get() { return object; }
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); "Since
Since its methods accept or return an Object, you are free to pass in whatever you want, provided that it is not one of the primitive types." - I understand this.But then it has been changed to a generic class:
Java Code: /**
* Generic version of the Box class.
* @param <T> the type of the value being boxed
*/
public class Box<T> {
// T stands for "Type"
private T t;
public void set(T t) { this.t = t; }
public T get() { return t; }
} mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); "
As you can see, all occurrences of Object are replaced by T. A type variable can be any non-primitive type you specify: any class type, any interface type, any array type, or even another type variable."We can use any type in place of an Object, because Object is a superclass of all classes. But T (or any other class) is not a superclass of all classes. So how do we justify any class being used in place of a random T or any other class?

I've got a question to ask.
public class AutoBoxingExample {
public void add(Integer intVal){
System.out.println("Wrapper");
}
public void add(int value){
System.out.println("Primitive");
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
AutoBoxingExample auto = new AutoBoxingExample();
auto.add(12);
}
}
The output is "Wrapper". What would be the reason behind it?
