In wrapper class..

[nachiket deshpande]

Please look at the following
Float f=new Float(32D);
System.out.println(f);
the above code compiles,but
Integer i=new Integer(32D) does'nt
compiler error"incompaitable type can/t convert double to int.but in the first code double gets converted to float,which also is a narrowing conversion??

Hello Nachiket,
If you look at Sun's java API, you will find that Float has three constructors Float(double), Float(float), and Float(String). Meanwhile Integer has only two, namely Integer(int) and Integer(String). So I guess double literal does not go well with Integer, does it?

Basically it the point of using the appropriate constructor.
So the following code works for Integer wrapper class:
So the narrowing conversion requires explicit cast .
Integer i=new Integer((int) 32D) ;
Correct me if wrong..
thanks

Hello Angela,
You are right! But how did your compilation react to your question?
Take care,
Lam
