9.2 Generic methods — maximum of any comparable type

Total: 0 / 3 pts

Practice mode — check each part and get hints as you go.

Task

Fill in maxOf so that it returns the largest element. The bound <T extends Comparable<T>> is already written, so you may call compareTo — the > operator would not compile for T.

The program prints 9 and then pear — the same method for numbers and for words.

Your solution

public class Main {

    public static <T extends Comparable<T>> T maxOf(T[] arr) {
        // start from the first element, compare with compareTo

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(maxOf(new Integer[]{3, 9, 2}));
        System.out.println(maxOf(new String[]{"pear", "apple", "fig"}));
    }
}
