1. Introduction to Generics

## Generics are a new feature of Java SE 1.5. The essence of generics is

parameterized types , that is to say, the data type being operated on is specified as a parameter. Before Java SE 1.5, without generics, the "arbitrary" parameters were implemented by referencing the type Object. The disadvantage of "arbitrary" was that explicit
mandatory Type conversion, and this conversion requires the developer to know the actual parameter type beforehand. In the case of forced type conversion errors, the compiler may not prompt an error , and the exception will only occur when runs . This is a security risk. The advantage of generics is that type safety is checked at compile time, and all casts are automatic and implicit to improve code reuse.

2. Why are generics needed?

2.1. Detecting data types during compilation

First we look at a case where a string is added to an ArrayList. "Accidentally "Added an integer, such as the following code,

There is no error:

java generics

But when executed, an error will be reported:

"java.lang.classCastException"

java generics

Because ArrayList maintains an Object array,

private transient Object[] elementData; , using get() returns An Object object needs
forced conversion, but an Integer value is mixed in the middle, causing the forced conversion to fail. This error is caused by the arbitrary of Object. If you can find that the data type is wrong during the compilation stage, it will be very convenient.
Generics meets this requirement: I will modify this program. ArrayList uses generics: you will find that during the compilation stage An error was reported.

2.2 Forced conversion is automatic

Do not use generics:

package com.chb.fanxing;public class NoGen {    
private Object ob;    
public NoGen(Object ob) {        
this.ob = ob;
    }
    getter setter...    
    private void showType() {
        System.out.println("数据的实际类型是：" + ob.getClass().getName());
    }    public static void main(String[] args) {
        NoGen ngInt = new NoGen(88);
        ngInt.showType();        int i = (int)ngInt.getOb();
        System.out.println("value = " + i);
        System.out.println("---------------");

        NoGen ngStr = new NoGen("88");
        ngStr.showType();
        String str = (String)ngStr.getOb();
        System.out.println("value = " + str);   
    }
}

Use Generics:

package com.chb.fanxing;public class Gen<T> {    
private T ob;    
public Gen(T ob) {        
this.ob = ob;
    }
    getter setter...    
    private void showType() {
        System.out.println("T的实际类型:"+ob.getClass().getName());
    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        //定义一个Integer版本
        Gen<Integer> genInt = new Gen<Integer>(88);
        genInt.showType();        int i = genInt.getOb();//此处不用强制转换
        System.out.println("value = " + i);
        System.out.println("----------------------");

        Gen<String> genStr = new Gen<String>("88");
        genStr.showType();
        String str = genStr.getOb();
        System.out.println("value = "+str); 
    }
}

Comparing the two examples, you will find :

Use generics, forced conversion is performed automatically:

3. In-depth generics

3.1. There are two classes, and we need to print their member variables

class StringDemo {    
private String s;    
public StringDemo (String s) {        
this.s = s;
    }
    setter geter....
}
class DoubleDemo{    
private Double d;    
public DoubleDemo(Double d) {        
this.d = d;
    }
    setter getter...
}

3.2. Refactoring

Carefully observe that the functions of the two classes are basically the same, but the data types are different. Considering the refactoring, because Object is the base class of all classes, you can use Object as a member variable, so that the code It can be

generally used. The refactored code is as follows:

class ObjectDemo{
    private Object ob;    
    public ObjectDemo(Object ob){        
    this.ob = ob;
    }
    setter getter...
}

ObjectDemo test:

public static void ObjectDemoTest(){
        ObjectDemo strOD = new ObjectDemo("123");
        ObjectDemo dOD = new ObjectDemo(new Double(23));
        ObjectDemo od = new ObjectDemo(new Object());
        System.out.println((String)strOD.getOb());
        System.out.println((Double)dOD.getOb());
        System.out.println(od.getOb());
    }

3.3 Using generic refactoring

Discover

Force conversion must be used in the above ObjectDemoTest(), which is more troublesome. We must also know the data type to be converted in advance in order to perform the correct conversion , otherwise, an error will occur. There will be no problem when the business is compiled, but once it is run, a "classCastException" will appear. So we don't need to do the cast ourselves, which is especially important for generics.

class GenDemo<T>{    
private T t;    
public GenDemo(T t) {        
this.t = t;
    } 
    public void setT(T t) {        
    this.t = t;
    }    
    public T getT() {        
    return t;
    }
}

Test:

Eliminates manual cast

public static void GenTest() {
        GenDemo<String> strOD = new GenDemo<String>("123");
        GenDemo<Double> dOD = new GenDemo<Double>(new Double(23));
        GenDemo<Object> od = new GenDemo<Object>(new Object());
        System.out.println(strOD.getT());
        System.out.println(dOD.getT());
        System.out.println(od.getT());
}

Let’s explain the above generic syntax:

Use to represent a type holding The name is equivalent to a formal parameter. The type of data is determined by the type of the actual data passed in, and then T is used as the type of the return value of the member, parameter, and method.

T is just a name, you can choose it at will.
class GenDemo, T does not impose any restrictions, and is actually equivalent to Object,
is equivalent to class GenDemo.
Compared with Object, classes defined using generics can use to specify the real data type during definition and declaration, such as:

GenDemo

< Double> dOD = new GenDemo(new Double(23)); You can also not specify it, then you need to perform forced conversion.

一、泛型简介

泛型是Java SE 1.5的新特性，泛型的本质是参数化类型，也就是说所操作的数据类型被指定为一个参数。
在Java SE 1.5之前，没有泛型的情况的下，通过对类型Object的引用来实现参数的“任意化”，“任意化”带来的缺点是要做显式的强制类型转换，而这种转换是要求开发者对实际参数类型可以预知的情况下进行的。对于强制类型转换错误的情况，编译器可能不提示错误，在运行的时候才出现异常，这是一个安全隐患。
泛型的好处是在编译的时候检查类型安全，并且所有的强制转换都是自动和隐式的，以提高代码的重用率。

二、为什么需要泛型

2.1、编译期对数据类型进行检测

首先我们看一个案例，向一个ArrayList中添加字符串，“不小心”添加了整数，如下面代码，
并没有错误：

java generics

但是执行时，会报错：“java.lang.classCastException”

java generics

因为ArrayList中维护的是一个Object数组， private transient Object[] elementData;
, 使用get()返回的是一个Object对象，需要强制转换，但是中间混杂一个Integer数值，导致强制转换失败。这个错误就是由于Object的任意化导致的。
如果能在编译阶段就发现数据类型有错，那么就很方便，泛型就满足了这个要求：我将这个程序修改一下，ArrayList使用泛型：会发现编译阶段就报错了.
java generics

2.2强制转换是自动的

不使用泛型：

package com.chb.fanxing;public class NoGen {    
private Object ob;    
public NoGen(Object ob) {        
this.ob = ob;
    }
    getter setter...    private void showType() {
        System.out.println("数据的实际类型是：" + ob.getClass().getName());
    }    public static void main(String[] args) {
        NoGen ngInt = new NoGen(88);
        ngInt.showType();        int i = (int)ngInt.getOb();
        System.out.println("value = " + i);
        System.out.println("---------------");

        NoGen ngStr = new NoGen("88");
        ngStr.showType();
        String str = (String)ngStr.getOb();
        System.out.println("value = " + str);   
    }
}

使用泛型：

package com.chb.fanxing;public class Gen<T> {    
private T ob;    
public Gen(T ob) {        
this.ob = ob;
    }
    getter setter...    private void showType() {
        System.out.println("T的实际类型:"+ob.getClass().getName());
    }    public static void main(String[] args) {        //定义一个Integer版本
        Gen<Integer> genInt = new Gen<Integer>(88);
        genInt.showType();        int i = genInt.getOb();//此处不用强制转换
        System.out.println("value = " + i);
        System.out.println("----------------------");

        Gen<String> genStr = new Gen<String>("88");
        genStr.showType();
        String str = genStr.getOb();
        System.out.println("value = "+str); 
    }
}

Copy after login

运行结果：

两个例子的运行结果是一致的

数据的实际类型是：java.lang.Integervalue = 88
---------------数据的实际类型是：java.lang.String
value = 88

Copy after login

对比两个例子会发现：

使用泛型，强制转换时自动进行的：

int i = genInt.getOb();//此处不用强制转换

Copy after login

而不使用泛型，必须要进行手动强制转化

int i = (int)ngInt.getOb();

三、深入泛型

3.1 、有两个类，我们需要打印他们的成员变量

class StringDemo {    
private String s;    
public StringDemo (String s) {        
this.s = s;
    }
    setter geter....
}
class DoubleDemo{    
private Double d;    
public DoubleDemo(Double d) {        
this.d = d;
    }
    setter getter...
}

Copy after login

3.2、重构

仔细观察两个类功能基本一致，只是数据类型不一样，考虑到重构，因为Object是所有类的基类，所以可以使用Object作为成员变量，这样代码就可以通用了。重构代码如下：

class ObjectDemo{
    private Object ob;    
    public ObjectDemo(Object ob){        
    this.ob = ob;
    }
    setter getter...
}

Copy after login

ObjectDemo测试：

public static void ObjectDemoTest(){
        ObjectDemo strOD = new ObjectDemo("123");
        ObjectDemo dOD = new ObjectDemo(new Double(23));
        ObjectDemo od = new ObjectDemo(new Object());
        System.out.println((String)strOD.getOb());
        System.out.println((Double)dOD.getOb());
        System.out.println(od.getOb());
    }

Copy after login

运行结果：
java generics

3.3使用泛型重构

发现上面的ObjectDemoTest() 中必须要使用强制转换,这比较麻烦，我们还必须事先知道要转换的数据类型，才能进行正确的转换，否则，会出现错误，业务编译时没有问题，但是一运行，会出现”classCastException”。所以我们需要不用自己进行强制转换，这是泛型就尤为重要。

class GenDemo<T>{    private T t;    public GenDemo(T t) {        this.t = t;
    } 
    public void setT(T t) {        this.t = t;
    }    public T getT() {        return t;
    }
}

Copy after login

测试：省去了手动进行强制转换

public static void GenTest() {
        GenDemo<String> strOD = new GenDemo<String>("123");
        GenDemo<Double> dOD = new GenDemo<Double>(new Double(23));
        GenDemo<Object> od = new GenDemo<Object>(new Object());
        System.out.println(strOD.getT());
        System.out.println(dOD.getT());
        System.out.println(od.getT());
}

Copy after login

下面解释一下上面的泛型语法：

使用表示一个类型持有者名称，相当于一个形参，数据的类型是有实际传入的数据的类型决定，然后T作为成员、参数、方法的返回值的类型。
T仅仅是一个名字，可以随意取的。
class GenDemo , T没有进行任何限制，实际相当于 Object,
等同于 class GenDemo。
与Object相比，使用泛型所定义的类，在定义和声明，可以使用来制定真实的数据类型，如：

GenDemo dOD = new GenDemo(new Double(23));
也可以不指定，那么就需要进行强制转换。
