[java] The cost of casting

fractionMan · 2003-03-23T12:28:22

My current project has to cast things, and quite often. I have to cast when I put things into an arraylist and when I take them out. I also have to cast things after the''ve been passed as parameters. How expensive (in terms of time) is this? What alternatives are there? (I suppose I could implement my own arraylist)

Yeah, I guess that''s why Java is going to implement enums and value types now

I can only imagine when they get their virtual machine up and running on more than just Win32. What a party that will be!

Uhm, they already have their "virtual machine" up and running on FreeBSD and MacOSX. Where have you been?
