interface Comparable<T> problem

[Lennon-Guru]

Hello,

I have an Java library interface, and I have to implement the MyInt class, it gives me the error int cannot be dereferenced:confused: I can't seem to understand why it's not compiling, can anyone help me please?

Thank You

Here's the code so far

import java.util.*;
public class MyInt
{
    
    private int value;
   

    public MyInt(int value) 
    {
        this.value = value;
        
    }
       
    public String toString()
    {
        
        return ("My integer " + value);
    }
    
  

    public int getInteger()
    {
        return value;
    
    }
    public int compareTo(MyInt rhs)
    {
       if (value < rhs.value) return -1;
         if (value > rhs.value) return 1;
         return 0;

    
    }
    
//     public int intValue()
//     {
//         return intValue;
//      
//     }
         
       
   
    public boolean equals(Object rhs)
    {
        if (!(rhs instanceof MyInt))
               return false;
           MyInt m = (MyInt)rhs;
           return m.value.equals(value);
        }

}

import java.util.*;

public interface Comparable<T>
{

int compareTo(T rhs);

}

Why are you using Comparable generically. If something implements Comparable, you don't really need to use generics. But idk, maybe I'm not understanding something.

Hello, gibsonrocker800

It's coursework from Uni, and that's the spec I was given.
Here it it is

5. Consider the following Java Library interface

public interface Comparable<T>

{

int compareTo(T rhs);

}



Complete the implementation of the class below that implements the above interface. The compareTo method should return -1 if value is less than rhs.value, 0 if both sides are equal and +1 if value is greater than rhs.value.

public class MyInt implements Comparable<MyInt>

{

private int value;



MyInt(int x) {...}

public String toString() {...}

public int intValue() {...}

public int compareTo(MyInt rhs){...}

public boolean equals(Object rhs) {...}

}

Thanks

Oh ok. Well what is the error you get when trying to compile? And what line does it occur in?
