Generics of primitives

at 2010-08-10 in Examples, 5.8-SERIES by friebe (0 comments)

Like in C# (and unlike Java), primitives can be used as components of generics in the 5.8-SERIES. Given a vector util.collections.Vector<string>, the following applies:

  // OK
  $v[]= "Hello";
  
  // Throws a lang.IllegalArgumentException 
  $v[]= 1;

Primitives can also be used in other generic collections types, e.g. Set and Map implementations as well as Stack and Queue.
