I have build a generic datacontainer and now I want to manipulate data depending on their type. However, I get an incompatable types warning. What am I doing wrong?
Type _Value;
public void set(Type t) throws Exception {
   if (_Value instanceof Integer
     && t instanceof Integer) {
       _Value = (((Integer) t
         - _MinValue + getRange())
            % getRange()) + _MinValue;
         }
       else if (_Value instanceof Boolean
         && t instanceof Boolean) {
 _Value = t;
            }
       else throw new Exception("Invalid type");
  }
