How to convert an array of integer to generic type?
I have an array,. I would like to do this ideally:private T[] elements;
if(elements[index] == null){ elements[index] = 0; } elements[index] = elements[index] + 1;
But I get the error of "cannot cast from int to T." How can I check my array for a null space and change it to zero if null is encountered (and then increment the 0 to 1)?

Re: Convering int to generic type?
What type is T? It may not even make sense to cast an int to T, for example if elements is meant to hold String objects.
Re: Convering int to generic type?
Why set it to zero in the first place then? why not just say if i of elements == null then i of e = 1;if(elements[index] == null){
elements[index] = 0;
}
elements[index] = elements[index] + 1;
