From
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/collections/changes5.html, Generics - adds compile-time type safety to the collections framework and eliminates the need to cast when reading elements from collections.
Enhanced for loop - eliminates the need for explicit iterators when interating over collections.
Autoboxing/unboxing - automatically converts primitives (such as int) to wrapper classes (such as Integer) when inserting them into collections, and converts wrapper class instances to primitives when reading from collections.
I think the following code should work, but the compiler complains " Incompatbable type for Object and int or Integer" , what is wrong with me for generic and autocasting?
Thanks,
