The Java collections framework has a very complex API hierarchy.

The following class diagram shows a brief overview of the Java Collections Framework which is divided into four groups: List, Set, Map and Queue. Only the principal, commonly-used interfaces and classes are listed.

we could have also defined method to compare objects of two subclasses as below

Boolean average(Statcomp arr) {
double sum = 0.0;
double sum1=0;
for(int i=0; i < nums.length; i++)
sum += nums.doubleValue();
for( int i=0; i < arr.nums.length; i++)
sum1 += arr.nums.doubleValue();
return (sum1==sum);
}
Then what is requirement of wildcard??

Hi,
TreeSet implements NavigableSet not extends.

Hi,
I think AbstractSequentialList just extends AbstractList, and
LinkedList extends AbstractSequentialList and implements List
