String / float Question

[Amardeep Salkar]

String str = "Amardeep";
String stra = new String("Amardeep);
or
String strb = new String();

Is String is A primitive or wrapper class ?

Similarly

float flt =10.08f;
Float flt = new Float();

Neither is String a primitive nor a wrapper. It is a general class in java.util package which is used to work on string like char[] in C++(although char[] of C++ and String of Java are way different).

Float is a wrapper class...also Float constructor must be provided a double, float or String value.

As i know float is a primitive and double is a wrapper class

because primitive type of double is float. but what about Float

i.e
float ft = 10.64f
Float flt = new Float(ft);
or
Float flt = new Float();

Reply me if I'm wrong...

You are wrong. Both float and double are primitive.

type of double is float

Again Wrong...double and float are two separate primitive types.

what about Float

Well every primitive type has a corresponding Wrapper class..this is a list of primitive types and their corresponding wrapper classes.

+-----------+---------+
| primitive | wrapper |
+-----------+---------+
| boolean | Boolean |
| byte | Byte |
| short | Short |
| char |Character|
| int | Integer |
| long | Long |
| float | Float |
| double | Double |
+-----------+---------+

Amardeep, check out: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/datatypes.html . You will find some useful basic information on primitives that should help you undertsand the topic better. Regards
