Explanation of Solution

Constraining a type parameter of a generic class with an upper bound:

Yes”, type parameter of generic class can be constrained with an upper bound using the keyword extends.

Explanation:

  • The keyword extends is used to restrict the type parameter of generic class.
  • A type to an upper bound is constrained by the keyword extends.
  • In order to declare the type parameter with an upper bound, the developer list the name of type parameter, followed by the keyword extends, and followed by its upper bound.
  • Example:

public class exam<T extends Number> //Line1

{ //Line2

    private T to; //Line3

    private T ra; //Line4

    public exam(T tot, T rank) //Line5

    { //Line6

        to= tot; //Line7

        ra=rank; //Line8

    } //Line9

    public static void main (String[] args) //Line10

    { //Line11

        exam<Integer> e1= new exam<>(2,3); //Line12

        exam<Double> e2= new exam<>(466...

Explanation of Solution

Constraining a type parameter of a generic class with a lower bound:

Yes”, type parameter of generic class can be constrained with lower bound using the keyword super.

Explanation:

  • The keyword super is used to restrict the type parameter.
  • A type to a lower bound is constrained by the keyword super.
  • In order to declare the type parameter with lower bound, the developer list the name of type parameter, followed by the keyword super, and followed by its lower bound.
  • Example:

public class exam<T super Integer> //Line1

{ //Line2

    private T to; //Line3

    private T ra; //Line4

    public exam(T tot, T rank) //Line5

    { //Line6

        to= tot; //Line7

        ra=rank; //Line8

    } //Line9

    public static void main (Str...

Alphabetic Telephone Number TranslatorMany companies use telephone numbers like 555-GET-FOOD so the number is easier for their customers to remember. On a standard telephone, the alphabetic letters are mapped to numbers in the following fashion: A, B, and C = 2 D, E, and F = 3 G, H, and I = 4 J, K, and L = 5 M, N, and O = 6 P, Q, R, and S = 7 T, U, and V = 8 W, X, Y, and Z = 9 Write a program that asks the user to enter a 10-character telephone number in the format XXX-XXX-XXXX. The application should display the telephone number with any alphabetic characters that appeared in the original translated to their numeric equivalent. For example, if the user enters 555-GET-FOOD, the application should display 555-438-3663.
