java - What is the use of recursive type bound in this case -


i have following piece of code

public static <t extends comparable<t>> t max(list<t> list){     iterator<t> iter = list.iterator();     ...     // code finding max element in list     ...  }

my question is, need recursive type bound in case? far understanding, t extends comparable < t > means that, t can compared t itself. comes fact that, class 't' implements comparable<t> , so, 

class myclass implements comparable<myclass>{ }

if wrong here, feel free correct me.

so coming actual doubt, why need specify < t extends comparable < t > > ? ways argument list<t> list going contain elements of same type. i.e., suppose pass parameter of type list < myclass2 > , elements going of same type, i.e. myclass2..

so implication of recursive type bound? in advance.

why need specify <t extends comparable<t>>? because comparable not require implementing class comparable itself. in theory write like

class circle extends shape implements comparable<integer> {     ... }

since comparable not make restriction, have on end when writing function. however, given bound more restrictive need be. make call 

public static <t extends comparable<? super t>> t max(list<t> list) {     ... }

that mean t comparable superclass of itself. reason want given in fruit example of rgettman. t still comparable itself, comparable not have defined respect t itself.

keyboard - C++ GetAsyncKeyState alternative -

i using windows.h library's getasynckeystate function define key pushed on keyboard . here program returns int value of pushed key example. #include <iostream> #include <windows.h> using namespace std; int main (){ char i; for(i=8;i<190;i++){ if(getasynckeystate(i)== -32767){ cout<<int (i)<<endl; } } return 0; } but trying make opengl simple game , function appeared slow . there function not need cycle 180 times , if statement . thanks you're trying make opengl game, you're going use glfw. if that's case can away using glfwgetkey() such: if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_up) == glfw_press) {...} if (glfwgetkey(glfw_key_down) == glfw_press) {...} that method nicely explained in tutorial 6 opengl-tutorial.org . should start first tutorial of beginners tutorials , later intermediate tutorials . if you're going make win32 window can listen wm_keydown or wm_keyup messages , virtua...
