Title
Body
I am reading the chapter on Generics from Effective Java[Item 27]. There is this paragraph in the book: It is permissible, though relatively rare, for a type parameter to be bounded by some expression involving that type parameter itself. This is what’s known as a recursive type bound. and this: // Using a recursive type bound to express mutual comparability public static <T extends Comparable<T>> T max(List<T> list) {...} What is recursive type bound and how does the above piece of code help achieve mutual comparability?
