Using a Generic Insertion Sort method
Hello,
I am having a real hard to trying to figure out how to use generics
I have the following insertion sort method defined
Code:
public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> void insertionSort (T[] data)
{
for (int index = 1; index < data.length; index++)
{
T key = data[index];
int position = index;
/** Shift larger values to the right */
while (position > 0 && data[position-1].compareTo(key) > 0)
{
data[position] = data[position-1];
position--;
}
data[position] = key;
}
}
I am trying to call it in the following manner where class Card is previously defined
Code:
private static List< Card > list; // declare List that will store Cards
public static void main( String args[] )
{
DeckOfCards cards = new DeckOfCards();
cards.printCards();
InsertionSort.insertionSort(list);
} // end main
However, I get the following error:
The method insertionSort(T[]) in the type InsertionSort is not applicable for the arguments (List<Card>)
Any help
