Don't you try? Integer and Double class implements Comparable interface!

Your problem is not with the Comparable interface. it is with generics. Your findLarger() method is expecting two arguments of the same type, for example Double, and returning the same type (Double).

Check the API of those two, because, they may imlement the generics type Comparable interface, in that case, Integer class' compareTo() method only accepts Integer object only, and Double class also! So better check those APIs.

I tried it. The compiler generated three errors.
