Type Inference in Generic Methods

Type inference is a feature of generic methods which allows you to call them as if they were drdinary methods i.e.

without specifying the type in between <>. For example:

 

 

public <E> boolean oneBiggerThanTwo(E one , E two){
	return Util.compare(one, two);
}

 

Then we can call it by:

boolean bool1 = <Integer>oneBiggerThanTwo(Integer.valueOf(12), Integer.valueOf(37))

 

Type inference means that there is no need to specify type parameters when calling a function as  compiler will do it for you
