Hi All,

List<?> list = new ArrayList<Dog>();
while reference can be abstract and polymorphic, why the actual object
must be of a specific type?

If I say like this List<?> list = new ArrayList();

what is the difference between this two?

please help!
Thanks
regards
samura

If we didn't override equals() different Objects can't be considered equal


why we need different objects to be considered equal?
I still have doubt with overridding hashcode and equals()

please help!
Thanks
