Will this code compile successfully?
1.
answer Yes, without warnings.
here why generic code + non-generic code is not generating warning?

2.
code 2 generates warning
o.k. because generic code + non-generic code is used.

For the first one, both are implicitly same! So no warnings!

Sir,one more question from same source

here as method say() is overrided,so object type determines which method will invoked,so as child method is non generic it can hold anything(i.e. not primitive).
this code gives compiler error, why so?

Also if we put at line 16 it invokes child class say() method.
output:child

And for the output as child, generics only for compiler! Do you got the point, why do these methods override even though the differ the method signature?

no , parameter type should have to be same on the both sides until and unless we are using wildcards(?).

So, that's why the compiler gives an Error!

but as overriding is happening, so it should consider the non-generic method which can take anything
but why it is considering generic method here of parent class just because of parent reference type?
but finally it invokes child method if we use line below

When compile time, it check the reference type, and at the time, generics also there. But at runtime, the generic and non-generic versions are same, VMI is there! {Generics only for compiler}

You are Welcome, If you want to check more, decompile the class file and check the methods! You'll get it!
