为什么你不能拥有“List< List< String>>”在Java？

问题描述：

在Java中，为什么以下代码行不起作用？

In Java, why doesn't the following line of code work?

List<List<String>> myList = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();

如果我将其更改为

List<ArrayList<String>> myList = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();

起初，我想也许你不能有接口列表，但我可以创建一个列表< Runnable> 就好了。

At first, I thought maybe you can't have lists of an interface, but I can create a List<Runnable> just fine.

想法？

答

通用类型更迂腐。

列表表示列表或任何子类型，但< List> 仅表示列表。如果你想要一个子类型，你需要<？扩展名单>

List means List or any sub-type, but <List> means only List. If you want a sub-type you need to have <? extends List>

我怀疑你可以使用

List<List<String>> myList = new ArrayList<List<String>>();

你不能这样做的原因是你可以使用对引用的引用，并且需要额外的间接级别，你必须要小心。

The reason you can't do this is that you can be using a reference to a reference and with an extra level of indirection you have to be careful.

// with one level of indirection its simple.
ArrayList alist = new ArrayList();
List list = aList; // all good
list = new LinkedList(); // alist is still good.

使用泛型你可以有两个级别的间接可以给你带来问题，所以他们更迂腐避免这些问题。

With generics you can have two level of indirection which can give you problems so they are more pedantic to avoid these issues.

// with two levels of indirection
List<ArrayList> alist = new ArrayList<ArrayList>();
List<List> list = (List) alist; // gives you a warning.
list.add(new LinkedList()); // adding a LinkedList into a list of ArrayList!!
System.out.println(alist.get(0)); // runtime error

打印

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.LinkedList
     cannot be cast to java.util.ArrayList
