A file consisting of many words, where some words are purely in 'UPPERCASE', some words are purely in 'lowercase' and rest are in 'miXeDCasE'? I want to load these words to Arraylist object but it should not allow to load words in UPPERCASE.
Can we achieve this with Java Generics ? How ?
For Ex: as we can achieve only number can be inserted in below Arraylist object with help of bounded types concept of Java Generics.
> ArrayList <T extends Number> al = new ArrayList<T extends Number>();
I don't thing generics provide such functionality for your requirement but you can achieve this easily with following logic if using generics is not mandatory for you
String word = "SomeWordFromYourFile";
String wordToUpperCase = word.toUpperCase();
if(!wordToUpperCase.equals(word)) {
list.add(word);
}
