What is return type E in the following code



public E get(int index) {

  synchronized (mutex) {

    return super.get(index);

  }

}


Java doc says it's an Element. But i didn't get it correctly. It's helpful if i get explanation with an example.

It's whatever you say it is. If you have a Mutex<Integer> then it's an Integer. If you have a Mutex<String> then it's a String. If you have a Mutex<Cheeseburger> then it's a Cheeseburger. E is a special kind of variable, sort of like int index in your example. The difference is that E takes on types, not values.

    @Nibras I really suggest you start from tutorials. Asking difference of T and E clearly shows that you have not read any tutorials on this topic. It takes a lot of effort to explain this when you are lacking the fundamental knowledge.
