Study Notes
Autoboxing
- Autoboxing: Automatic conversion of primitive types into their corresponding wrapper objects when needed.
- No explicit object construction is required.
Autoboxing and Auto-unboxing
- Autoboxing: Primitive types are automatically converted into their corresponding wrapper objects.
- Auto-unboxing: Values from boxed objects are automatically extracted when needed.
- No need for methods like intValue() or doubleValue() to get the primitive value.
Uses of Autoboxing
- Streamlines coding
- Prevents errors
- Important to generics, which operate only on objects
- Makes working with the Collections Framework much easier
Autoboxing and Unboxing in Methods
- Autoboxing/unboxing might occur when an argument is passed to a method, or when a value is returned by a method.
- Example: Passing an int to a method and returning an int value, where the argument is autoboxed into an Integer and the return value is also autoboxed into an Integer.
Autoboxing and Unboxing in Expressions
- Autoboxing and unboxing occur when conversion into or from an object is needed.
- Numeric objects are automatically unboxed within an expression.
- The result of the expression is reboxed if needed, simplifying code without manual conversions.
Auto-unboxing and Mixing Numeric Object Types
- Auto-unboxing permits mixing different numeric object types in an expression.
- After unboxing, standard type promotions and conversions are applied automatically.
- Enables code to be valid without explicit conversions or casts.
Autoboxing and Unboxing in Switch Statements
- Because of auto-unboxing, you can use Integer numeric objects to control a switch statement.
- In a switch statement, the Integer object is automatically unboxed to get its int value.
Autoboxing and Unboxing Boolean and Character Values
- Autoboxing/unboxing a Boolean and Character is possible.
- Autoboxing/unboxing enables using a Boolean object to control Java's loop statements.
- The Boolean object's value is automatically unboxed into its boolean equivalent for conditions in while, for, or do/while loops.
