Problem with Wrapper class.

[Abhinav Trivedi]

Hi Everybody,

Actually I've a problem in understading of the wrapper classes and their functionalities. I mugged up all the books but practical aspect of using wrapper clases is still unsolved. can anybody give me a classic example of using wrapper classes and their functions.
I need only start.

Hi abhinav
did you read K&B in which you can find good explanation regarding wrapper classes?
go through that..

Try something like this in a short main-method:

  Integer i = 5;
    	 int x = 5;  

and then try to acces the int x and the Integer i via a dot operator like this:

      	 String testInt = i.toString();
    	 String test_int = x.toString();//won't work  

Then you will see how powerfull wrapping really is. Its like youre wrapping an primitive in an Object to gain access to more powerfull higher-level methods. You'll see...

If you have problem understanding the topic from K&B book then you can also try TMH Java Complete Reference. That may prove helpful

sheker,

What i got from your code, In java you can't compare and use any function of object class on primitive. so first you should transform primitive into a object reference then you can use method which is implemented on object such as String class. Is that complete or anything missing ???

What is K&B actually ?

K&B stands for SCJP Study Guide by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates...

This book is pretty nice, though i've got headache from reading it every day.
My girlfriend is pretty and nice, too, though i've got headache...

Yes the book is really good but not good to start with.To read this book you ,at least ,must go through the basics and write a lot of code and practice java

[sebastian tortschanoff]

I agree.

One should already have made experience with other languages like c++ or c#, best with java. As a rookie you'll soon get get to your limits.

I've discovered soon, when i watched myself in the reflection looking like this: or sometimes like this , espezialy on chapter 6.

Brother, you Mugged up the basic thing..Please do some coding and try to understand how interpreator and compiler are doing for you.
You can learn more by understanding rather than simply mugging. i prefer K&B, read sentence by sentence and try to visualize on your own.javascript:emoticon('');
