Study Notes
Subtypes of Arrays
- Object[] is a supertype, and its subtypes can be arrays of specific classes or interfaces.
Class Access Modifiers
- The notation 'public MyClass' indicates that the class MyClass has public access, meaning it can be accessed from anywhere.
Avoiding ArrayStoreException
- Using generics or parameterized types can be used to avoid an ArrayStoreException, which is thrown when trying to store the wrong type of object into an array of objects.
Subtypes of ArrayList
- LinkedList is a subtype of ArrayList, which means it inherits the properties and methods of ArrayList.
Wildcard Notation in Generics
- The wildcard notation 'ArrayList<? extends Chicken>' represents a list that can hold any type of object that is a subclass of Chicken, but not a superclass of Chicken.
