```
    Scans the given string for a type bound signature starting at the given index and returns the index of the last character.
```

```
    Scans the given string for a list of type argument signatures starting at the given index and returns the index of the last character.
```
 TypeArgumentSignatures:
     < TypeArgumentSignature* >
 
```
    Note that although there is supposed to be at least one type argument, there is no syntactic ambiguity if there are none. This method will accept zero type argument signatures without complaint.
    Parameters:
    
    string - the signature string
    
    start - the 0-based character index of the first character
    
    Returns:
    
    the 0-based character index of the last character
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this is not a list of type arguments signatures
  - scanTypeArgumentSignature
```
public static int scanTypeArgumentSignature(char[] string,
                                            int start)
```
    Scans the given string for a type argument signature starting at the given index and returns the index of the last character.
```
 TypeArgumentSignature:
     *
  |  + TypeSignature
  |  - TypeSignature
  |  TypeSignature
 
```
    Note that although base types are not allowed in type arguments, there is no syntactic ambiguity. This method will accept them without complaint.
    Parameters:
    
    string - the signature string
    
    start - the 0-based character index of the first character
    
    Returns:
    
    the 0-based character index of the last character
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this is not a type argument signature
  - effectivelyEqual
```
