I am trying to implement a generic DDLinkedList of Entries. I have the following classes defined.
class DoublyLinkedList<T extends Comparable<T>>
class DLLNode<T extends Comparable<T>>
Entry<K extends Comparable<K>, V> implements Comparable<Entry<K, V>>
Once I try to create an array of DoublyLinkedlist of type Entry as below:
DoublyLinkedList<DLLNode<Entry<K, V>>> array[] = (DoublyLinkedList<DLLNode<Entry<K, V>>>[]) new DoublyLinkedList[TABLE_SIZE];
I get an error message:
"The type DLLNode<Entry<K,V>> is not a valid substitute for the bounded
parameter <T extends Comparable<T>> of the type DoublyLinkedList<T>"
From my other standing I thought I could make a Generic Type T of Entry.
My question: Am I going about the wrong way of doing this or am I implementing it wrong?
