Java examples for Object Oriented Design:Generic Method
Printing array elements using generic method printArray.
public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) {/*from w ww. ja v a 2 s .co m*/ // create arrays of Integer, Double and Character Integer[] integerArray = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; Double[] doubleArray = {1.1, 2.2, 3.3, 4.4, 5.5, 6.6, 7.7}; Character[] characterArray = {'H', 'E', 'L', 'L', 'O'}; System.out.print("Array integerArray contains:%n"); printArray(integerArray); // pass an Integer array System.out.printf("%nArray doubleArray contains:%n"); printArray(doubleArray); // pass a Double array System.out.printf("%nArray characterArray contains:%n"); printArray(characterArray); // pass a Character array } // generic method printArray public static <T> void printArray(T[] inputArray) { // display array elements for (T element : inputArray) System.out.printf("%s ", element); System.out.println(); } }
