Java 7 features Binary literals | Strings in switch statements | Catching multiple exceptions | Try with resources | Type inference | Underscores in numeric literals | By date |
Type inference is included in JSE7. As long as the compiler can infer the arguments type from the context, you can use an empty set of parameters type <>. We call this pair of angle brackets the diamond. See the example below! For more info click here to read Oracle’s explanation.
Example 1: Type inference code
What is the output of the following code?
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class TypeInference
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Diamond feature <>
List<String> listCities = new ArrayList<>();
listCities.add("London");
listCities.add("New York City");
listCities.add("Moscow");
for(String element: listCities)
{
System.out.print(element + ", ");
}
}
}
