Java syntax 196 The other short form is called single element annotation. It is used with annotations types containing only one element or in the case when multiple elements are present, but only one elements lacks a default value. In single element annotation form the element name is omitted and only value is written instead: /* Equivalent for @BlockingOperations(fileSystemOperations = true). networkOperations has a default value and does not have to be assigned a value */ @BlockingOperations(true) void openOutputStream() { } Generics Generics, or parameterized types, or parametric polymorphism is one of the major features introduced in J2SE 5.0. Before generics were introduced, it was required to declare all the types explicitly. With generics it became possible to work in a similar manner with different types without declaring the exact types. The main purpose of generics is to ensure type safety and to detect runtime errors during compilation. Unlike C#, information on the used parameters is not available at runtime due to type erasure. Generic classes Classes can be parameterized by adding a type variable inside angle brackets (< and >) following the class name. It makes possible the use of this type variable in class members instead of actual types. There can be more than one type variable, in which case they are declared in a comma-separated list. It is possible to limit a type variable to a subtype of some specific class or declare an interface that must be implemented by the type. In this case the type variable is appended by the extends keyword followed by a name of the class or the interface. If the variable is constrained by both class and interface or if there are several interfaces, the class name is written first, followed by interface names with & sign used as the delimiter. /* This class has two type variables, T and V. T must be a subtype of ArrayList and implement Formattable interface */ public class Mapper { } public void add(T array, V item) { } // array has add method because it is an ArrayList subclass array.add(item); When a variable of a parametrized type is declared or an instance is created, its type is written exactly in the same format as in the class header, except actual type is written in the place of the type variable declaration. /* Mapper is created for CustomList as T and Integer as V. CustomList must be a subclass of ArrayList and implement Formattable */ Mapper mapper = new Mapper(); When declaring a variable for a parametrized type, it is possible to use wildcards instead of explicit type names. Wildcards are expressed by writing ? sign instead of the actual type. It is possible to limit possible types to the subclasses or superclasses of some specific class by writing the extends keyword or the super keyword correspondingly followed by the class name.

Generics<br />
Generics, or parameterized types, or parametric polymorphism is one of the major features introduced in J2SE 5.0.<br />
Before generics were introduced, it was required to declare all the types explicitly. With generics it became possible<br />
to work in a similar manner with different types without declaring the exact types. The main purpose of generics is to<br />
ensure type safety and to detect runtime errors during compilation. Unlike C#, information on the used parameters is<br />
not available at runtime due to type erasure.<br />
Generic classes<br />
Classes can be parameterized by adding a type variable inside angle brackets (< and >) following the class name. It<br />
makes possible the use of this type variable in class members instead of actual types. There can be more than one<br />
type variable, in which case they are declared in a comma-separated list.<br />
It is possible to limit a type variable to a subtype of some specific class or declare an interface that must be<br />
implemented by the type. In this case the type variable is appended by the extends keyword followed by a name of<br />
the class or the interface. If the variable is constrained by both class and interface or if there are several interfaces,<br />
the class name is written first, followed by interface names with & sign used as the delimiter.<br />
/* This class has two type variables, T and V. T must be<br />
a subtype of ArrayList and implement Formattable interface */<br />
public class Mapper {<br />
}<br />
public void add(T array, V item) {<br />
}<br />
// array has add method because it is an ArrayList subclass<br />
array.add(item);<br />
When a variable of a parametrized type is declared or an instance is created, its type is written exactly in the same<br />
format as in the class header, except actual type is written in the place of the type variable declaration.<br />
/* Mapper is created for CustomList as T and Integer as V.<br />
CustomList must be a subclass of ArrayList and implement Formattable */<br />
Mapper mapper = new Mapper();<br />
When declaring a variable for a parametrized type, it is possible to use wildcards instead of explicit type names.<br />
Wildcards are expressed by writing ? sign instead of the actual type. It is possible to limit possible types to the<br />
subclasses or superclasses of some specific class by writing the extends keyword or the super keyword<br />
correspondingly followed by the class name.
