\section{\TamedFJ{}}\label{sec:tifj}
%LetFJ -> Output language!
%TamedFJ -> ANF transformed input langauge
%Input language only described here. It is standard Featherweight Java
% we use the transformation to proof soundness. this could also be moved to the end. 
% the constraint generation step assumes every method argument to be encapsulated in a let statement. This is the way Java is doing capture conversion

The input to our algorithm is a typeless version of Featherweight Java.
The syntax is shown in figure \ref{fig:syntax}
and the respective type rules in figure \ref{fig:expressionTyping} and \ref{fig:typing}.
Method parameters and return types are optional.
We still require type annotations for fields and generic class parameters.
This is a design choice by us,
as we consider them as data declarations which are given by the programmer.
% They are inferred in for example \cite{plue14_3b}
Note the \texttt{new} expression not requiring generic parameters,
which are also inferred by our algorithm.
The method call naturally has type inferred generic parameters aswell.
We add the elvis operator ($\elvis{}$) to the syntax mainly to showcase applications involving wildcard types.
The syntax is described in figure \ref{fig:syntax} with optional type annotations highlighted in yellow.
It is possible to exclude all optional types.
\TamedFJ{} is a subset of the calculus defined by \textit{Bierhoff} \cite{WildcardsNeedWitnessProtection}.
%The language is designed to showcase type inference involving existential types.
The idea is for our type inference algorithm to calculate all missing types and output a fully and correctly typed \TamedFJ{} program,
which by default is also a correct Featherweight Java program (see chapter \ref{sec:soundness}).

\noindent
\textit{Notes:}
\begin{itemize}
\item The calculus does not include method overriding for simplicity reasons.
Type inference for that is described in \cite{TIforFGJ} and can be added to this algorithm accordingly.
Our algorithm is designed for extensibility with the final goal of full support for Java.
\unify{} is the core of the algorithm and can be used for any calculus sharing the same subtype relations as depicted in \ref{fig:subtyping}.
Additional language constructs can be added by implementing the respective constraint generation functions in the same fashion as described in chapter \ref{chapter:constraintGeneration}.
%\textit{Note:}
\item The typing rules for expressions shown in figure \ref{fig:expressionTyping} refrain from restricting polymorphic recursion.
Type inference for polymorphic recursion is undecidable \cite{wells1999typability} and when proofing completeness like in \cite{TIforFGJ} the calculus
needs to be restricted in that regard.
Our algorithm is not complete (see discussion in chapter \ref{sec:completeness}) and without the respective proof we can keep the \TamedFJ{} calculus as simple as possible
and as close to it's Featherweight Java correspondent \cite{WildcardsNeedWitnessProtection} as possible.
Our soundness proof works either way.
\end{itemize}

%Additional features like overriding methods and method overloading can be added by copying the respective parts from there.
%Additional features can be easily added by generating the respective constraints (Plümicke hier zitieren)

% The type system in \cite{WildcardsNeedWitnessProtection} allows a method to \textit{override} an existing method declaration in one of its super classes,
% but only by a method with the exact same type.
% The type system presented here does not allow the \textit{overriding} of methods.
% Our type inference algorithm consumes the input classes in succession and could only do a type check instead of type inference
% on overriding methods, because their type is already determined.
% Allowing overriding therefore has no implication on our type inference algorithm.

% The output is a valid Featherweight Java program.
% We use the syntax of the version introduced in \cite{WildcardsNeedWitnessProtection}
% calling it \letfj{} for that it is a Featherweight Java variant including \texttt{let} statements.
