Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Implement a generic method that calculates the sum of a list containing any number subclasses. Ensure type safety through upper bounded wildcards.

💡 Hint: Student should focus on using `doubleValue()` on the Number class.

Question 2

Create a class that manages a collection of objects from various subclasses of a parent class, ensuring it utilizes upper bounded wildcards when retrieving items.

💡 Hint: Pay attention to the class definition and method parameter signatures.
