Question
Why would List<ScheduledFuture<?>> be rejected by a method:
public static <T extends Comparable<T>> T max(List<T> list)
but accepted (as intended) by this:
public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> T max(List<? extends T> list)
?
Answer
java.util.concurrent.ScheduledFuture does not implement Comparable<ScheduledFuture>. Instead, it is a subinterface of Delayed, which extends Comparable<Delayed>. In other words, a ScheduledFuture instance isn’t merely comparable to other ScheduledFuture instances; it’s comparable to any Delayed instance, so we have to say Comparable<? super T>. Delayed is super of ScheduledFuture. It seems that the second part, List<? extends T> as a producer does not make any difference.

basically:
ScheduledFuture extends Comparable<Delayed>
where Delayed is super of ScheduledFuture

it returns from the method it appears in. Another example: def foo: Int = { val sumR: List[Int] => Int = _.foldLeft(0)((n, m) => return n + m) sumR(List(1,2,3)) + sumR(List(4,5,6)) } scala> foo res4: Int = 1 Non-Local Return <span>When a function value containing a return statement is evaluated nonlocally, the computation is abandoned and the result is returned by throwing a NonLocalReturnControl[A]. This implementation detail escapes into the wild without much ceremony: def lazily(s: => String): String = try s catch { case t: Throwable => t.toString } def foo: String = laz
