Generic Question Doubt

[Chandra Bhatt]

class Fruit {}
class Apple extends Fruit {}
class Orange extends Fruit {}
 
class FruitHelper {
}
public static boolean isRipe(Orange orange) {
}
 
public static <A extends Apple> 
void insertRipe(A a, Basket<? super A> b)  {
               if (isRipe(a)) { // Line 1, 
/*I think problem here, Orange is required, Apple or Sub of Apple may be     passed from here */
 
b.setElement(a); 
}
}
public static <G extends Orange>
   void insertRipe(G g, Basket<? super G> b) {
        if (isRipe(g)) { // it is ok!
/* what isRipe() requires is Orange
*/ 
        b.setElement(g);
   }
}
 
}

Answer says this code will compiler!

I have commented the lines I think I should,
Please guide me to come to conclusion.

Try replacing oranges with mangoes, you might get someone to answer

Hi, Chandra,

You code is not complete. It's hard to explain. The relationships between Orange, Apple, and Basket are unknown.

BTW, you should put code in "Code" button when you post, it will be easier to read.

Ease Up

I never answer such questions when presented this way. I suggest that you try somewhere else.

I apologize Barry, now I have edited my question.

You can read it (code is in now better shape)



Thanks,
