Question

Here’s what I’ve been trying to do, in a nutshell:

class example <T extends Number> {     private int function(T number)     {         int x = (int) number;         ...     }     ... } 

Basically, I’m trying to make it so that T is a number so I can convert it to an int inside that function. The problem is that I’m getting an ‘incovertible types’ error, so I must be doing something wrong.

Answer 1

Considering that the abstract class Number is the superclass of classes * BigDecimal, BigInteger, * Byte, Double, Float, * Integer, Long, and Short…

if you want to have an int representation, you should use the .intValue() function.

If that is what you want to do.
