java - 多路树可比接口(interface)问题

我正在创建一个通用的多路树，我知道它将仅采用四种类型（整数，双精度，字符串和字符）中的一种。我在可比的界面和插入功能方面遇到问题。这是我到目前为止编写的相关代码：

public class BTree<T extends Comparable<? super T>>
{
    private int m=0, height=0, numkeys=0;
    private BTreeNode<T> root;
    boolean ready=false;

class BTreeNode<T extends Comparable<? super T>>
{
    boolean leaf = true;
    int keyTally = 1;
    Comparable<T> keys[] = new Comparable[m-1];
    BTreeNode<T> references[] = new BTreeNode[m];
    BTreeNode( T key)
    {
        keys[0] = (Comparable<T>) key;
        for ( int i=0; i<m; i++)
            references[i] = null;
    }
}

public BTree( int c)
{
    root=null;
    m=c;
}

// Not finished - can't test due to other bug
public boolean insertElement( T elem)
{
    insert( elem, root, height);
    numkeys++;
    return true;
}

// And now the ploblem function

private BTreeNode<T> insert( T elem, BTreeNode<T> node, int hvar)
{
    int i;

    BTreeNode<T> temp = null;

    if (hvar == 0)
    {
        for (i = 0; i < node.keyTally; i++)
            if ( elem.compareTo(node.keys[i]) < 0)
                break;
    }
    else
    {
        for (i = 0; i < node.keyTally; i++)
        {
            if ((i+1 == node.keyTally) || elem.compareTo(node.keys[i]) < 0)
            {
                Node n = insert( elem, node.references[i++], hvar-1);
                if (n == null)
                    return null;

                temp.keys[0] = n.keys[0];
                temp.references[0] = n;
                break;
            }
        }
    }

    for (int j = node.keyTally; j > i; j--)
        node.keys[j] = node.keys[j-1];
    node.children[i] = temp;
    node.keyTally++;
    if (node.keyTally < m)
        return null;
    else
    {
        BTreeNode<T> newNode = null;
        newNode.keyTally = m/2;
        for( i=0; i<m/2; i++)
        newNode.references[i] = node.references[m/2+i];
        return newNode;
    }
    return null;
}

这是我的控制台输出：

BTree.java:169: error: method compareTo in interface Comparable<T#2> cannot be applied
to given types;

         ^

我不明白类似接口在做什么，使它抱怨compareTo方法。另外，我想知道如果使用字符串类型该怎么办？我认为它将只是按字母顺序看哪个先出现。谢谢：）

最佳答案

这是因为node.keys[i]是Comparable<T>类型，而不是T类型。反过来尝试比较。
