Type Parameters:

D - the generic declaration that declares this type variable

All Superinterfaces:

Type

All Known Implementing Classes:

TypeVariableImpl
```
public interface TypeVariable<D extends GenericDeclaration>
extends Type
```
This interface represents a type variables such as 'T' in 'public interface Comparable<T>', the bounded 'T' in 'public interface A<T extends Number>' or the multiple bounded 'T' in 'public interface B<T extends Number & Cloneable>'.

- Method Detail
  - getBounds
```
Type[] getBounds()
```
    Returns the upper bounds of this type variable. Object is the implicit upper bound if no other bounds are declared.
    
    Returns:
    
    the upper bounds of this type variable
    
    Throws:
    
    TypeNotPresentException - if any of the bounds points to a missing type
    
    MalformedParameterizedTypeException - if any of the bounds points to a type that cannot be instantiated for some reason
  - getGenericDeclaration
```
D getGenericDeclaration()
```
    Returns the language construct that declares this type variable.
    
    Returns:
    
    the generic declaration
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns the name of this type variable as it is specified in source code.
    
    Returns:
    
    the name of this type variable
