TreeNode无法强制转换为java.lang.Comparable？

Question

我正在尝试编写一个返回指定节点（BST）的父节点的方法，我不断得到这个：

TreeNode cannot be cast to java.lang.Comparable

有关如何解决此问题的任何建议？谢谢！

这是方法（几乎位于最后！） - （整个代码）：

Answer 1

在此代码中：

       if (((Comparable<E>)node.element).compareTo((E)current) < 0) {

您正在将node的元素与current进行比较。但current是TreeNode，而不是存储在那里的元素。

您可能需要：

if (((Comparable<E>)node.element).compareTo(current.element) < 0) {

Answer 2

你的问题是，虽然TreeNode的泛型参数是Comparable，但类本身不是。

改变这个：

public static class TreeNode<E extends Comparable<E>> {

对此：

public static class TreeNode<E extends Comparable<E>> implements Comparable<TreeNode<E>> {

或者，如果您不要求通用类型也是可比较的：

public static class TreeNode<E> implements Comparable<TreeNode<E>> {

进行此更改后，您将无法进行演员表。
