Questions tagged [multiple-bounds]

Also known as "type intersection", when the generic type is bounded by multiple types, eg

In Java, a generic type may be upper bound to more than one type, using the & operator, as follows:

<T extends B1 & B2 & B3>

At most 1 of the bounds may be a class.
If a class is present in the list, it must be first.

See the relevant Oracle tutorial page for more info.
