Hey!
First of all I want to say that I am quite new at java. Recently I've been reading java docs and found out this type of constructor: "ArrayList(Collection<? extends E> c)". I have been unable to figure it out on my own. Could somebody please explain me what does this means exactly or point me to a place where I could read more about it?
Regards,
BXC

Those are the Generic Type definitions. To understand them, a good place to start is The Generics Tutorial.

Hi, and welcome to the Ranch!
What you're seeing is a type parameter for Java's Generics mechanism: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/generics/
