Java - question on enum

[ISAIAH]

Hello,
I am new to java and I have just started to coding in java. What this means:
My first question is

enum Horse

What does the word reserved enum?

Second question
What this means:

Map mp = <string,string> new TreeMap <string,string>();

That means <string,string> ? In fact, it means <> ?
Any help on these topics will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello,
Generics is simple, it's just that instead of defining a TreeMap which contains Objects, you specify the type of attributes TreeMap (String here). Instead of declaring new TreeMap (), you declare new TreeMap <string,string> to say that you'll use in your String TreeMap, that's all. If you need more informational on this then you can visit the sun's official site and there you can find more detailed information on this.

Hello,
The letters E and T or represent other classes that you defined it? is an unknown class.
For example the ArrayList class:

ArrayList <E>

When you created an ArrayList like:

List mlst = new ArrayList <String> ();

E is used becomes the object in the String class.
I hope you are understanding what I am trying to explain to you. I recommend you to read some basics of java that it the Java core syllabus, so that you can understand what is being explained.

Hello,
Just have a look at the following

addAll(Collection <? Extends E> c)

As E is a String, it means that the method accepts any type of collection that contains objects that inherit from String. The String is a bad example since you can not extend. In a Map you not only the class of objects but also the keys, have you:

Map <K,V>

And then the letters K and V are used as the E of the List.

Hello,
Have a look at the following syntax

<?>

is primarily used as part of an interface. You can also define an interface taking or returning a collection whose type is defined by the class implements. This is very useful

<E>

is often used to refer to the word Element, i.e one can do everything and anything to its code by using this.

Hello,
I will try to explain you the following

<E>

is often used to refer to the word Element, i.e a it can do everything and anything.
For Map is similar:

K -> Key
V -> Value
