Generics compilation error

[Amit K K Amit]

Hi Guys,
I am trying to compile the follwing code, can anyone tell me what is the issue in the code?

interface Animal{

  public String crawl();
}


class Cat implements Animal{

  public String crawl(){
 
    return "Cat version of Crawl";
  }
}


public class TestGenerics{

  public  static void dotestgenericswithpoly(List<? extends Animal> list){
      // ---method logic
  }

  public static void main(String... args){

    dotestgenericswithpoly(new Cat());
  }
}

Compilation Error Message :-
=====================

dotestgenericswithpoly(java.util.List<? extends Animal>) in TestGenerics cannot
be applied to (Cat)
dotestgenericswithpoly(new Cat());

[Edit - added code tags - see UseCodeTags]

It's not the generics that are the problem - that wouldn't work in a non-generic version. The problem is that you're passing a Cat to a method that's expecting a List.

Never write code when you are tired. :-)

That was a silly mistake. Thanks Matthew
