Comp Sci What does the error T does not match T mean in my Java code?

[magnifik]

I am getting compilation errors in the following segment of my code:

_underlyingStorage was declared in the following way: private T[] _underlyingStorage = (T[]) new Object[128];

public T next() {
_currentIndex++;
if(_underlyingStorage[_currentIndex] == _underlyingStorage[_numElements-1])
_underlyingStorage[_currentIndex] = _underlyingStorage[0];
return _underlyingStorage[_currentIndex];
}

the error I'm getting makes no sense to me.. it says that T does not match T. what's happening here?

Where are you getting the error at? I entered everything you had into a class, but I'm not getting any error.

Errors reported by the compiler and the runtime are usually very precisely worded, containing a very literal description of a problem in your program and where that problem occurs.

If you aren't yet experienced enough to extract this information from an error, you should copy it verbatim when you ask for others to help. (also, there's probably a line number involved. It would help if you point out which line of your code it refers to)
