Why do we need wrapper classes. Where we implement them. Are they useful for certification exam.

The wrapper classes, Boolean, Byte, Short, Character, Integer, Float, Double are used anytime you need to represent a primitive value as an Object.
Yes, the exam does include questions on wrapper classes.
The next version of my mock exam will have a new set of questions on the Byte wrapper class. I hope to have it up by 5:00 PM Pacific Time today, Friday, August 9.

Please read read this about Wrapper Classes and come back if things are not clear.
It's not perfect but will help to get the basic ideas.
Try Dan's exam.

Getting someone to think and try something out is much more useful than just telling them the answer.

Is wrapper objects are immutable?

You will need a wrapper class anytime you want to store a primitive type (such as int or double) in a collection (such as a Set , List, or Map).
