泛型-如何将地图转移到地图？ 延伸x？

Question

Map<String, ? extends MyClass> map;//instantiate and put values somewhere
Map<String, MyClass> map2; //instantiate and put values somewhere.

Given the maps above, how to transfer from map to map2 , and from map2 to map using putAll() , or achieve the putAll() effect?

If I know the Class is InstanceClass , can I somehow cast it to Map<String, InstanceClass>map; ?

Answer 1

Map<String, ? extends MyClass> map;//instantiate and put values somewhere

The wildcard expression ? extends MyClass ? extends MyClass signifies a producer, meaning that you can't add objects to it because you do not know what type of object the value of the map currently holds. You can only read from it.

Answer 2

You can copy them entry-wise. Here's an approach that uses Map.forEach :

map.forEach(map2::put);
