Wrapper Classes
- Wrapper classes for primtives are a mechanism to include primitives in activities reserved for objects. e.g. being part of Collections.
- Wrapper objects are immutable !
- All have two constructors - one takes a primitive, other a string representation.
- A valueOf() method also takes a string and returns a wrapper object in return.
- Wrapper to primitive - use the xxxValue() methods like intValue() and floatValue()
- String to primitive - e.g. Integer.parseInt("22"), Double.parseDouble("3.14");
- toString() returns the string representation of a primitive.
