Can we Pass Primitive data type in HashMap?

[sumanta panda]

Dear All,

I know in the HashMap the Key and Value is as an Object?

Can we pass Primitive data type in the Hashmap?

If yes please suggest How do you store a primitive data type within a HashMap?

Thanks and Regards,
SPanda

No, you cannot put primitives in any of the Collections classes. However, you can use the wrapper classes, and then use autounboxing.
