Hi! Please explain me why I can't invoke addandDisp with parameters ls1 and object of type Object? What second parameter is allowed with first parameter will be ls1?

mmm, i am not sure what you wish to intend by List<? super Object>
This means either a superclass of Object(No class qualifies this rule) or the Object itself.
Since, there is no superclass of Object, its as good as saying List<Object>
If you do the above, everything should work fine.

Hi Andry,

I'm not sure what the issue here is. The code you provided compiles fine.

I really dont understand why this does not compile:


//call 2
List<? extends Object> ls2 = new LinkedList<Object>();
addandDisp(ls2,new Object());
