Hi All,

List<Number> and List<? extends Number>?

List<Number> --> List of Numbers (or instances of Number) : Will it only take Number as argument ?

List<? extends Number> --> List any type which extends Number  : Will it only take subclass of Number class ?

Somebody else asked a similar question a few weeks ago: here.

I don't think this is the best place for this question: let't move you to the same forum as the older thread.
