    Study Notes

    Primitive Types and Wrapper Classes

    • Java has primitive data types that each have a corresponding wrapper class, enabling the treatment of primitives as objects.
    • Wrapper classes:
      • boolean → Boolean
      • char → Character
      • byte → Byte
      • short → Short
      • int → Integer
      • long → Long
      • float → Float
      • double → Double

    Auto Boxing

    • Auto boxing is the automatic conversion of primitive types to their respective wrapper classes.
    • Example:
      • Converting int to Integer
      • Statement: Integer j = a; triggers the compiler to perform Integer.valueOf(a) internally.

    Unboxing

    • Unboxing is the reverse of auto boxing, converting wrapper types back to their primitive counterparts.
    • Example:
      • Explicit casting demonstrated in a conversion from double to int.

    Type Conversion in Java

    • Type conversion refers to changing data from one type to another, known as type casting or coercion.
    • Java allows conversions for both primitive and reference types.

    String to Primitive Conversions

    • String to int:
      • Use Integer.parseInt(String numberString), e.g., from "123" to 123.
    • int to String:
      • Use String.valueOf(int number), e.g., converting 123 to "123".
    • String to double:
      • Use Double.parseDouble(String numberString), e.g., from "10.5" to 10.5.

    Wrapper Classes

    • Wrapper classes enable treating primitive data types as objects.
    • Useful for converting primitive types into objects for scenarios requiring objects.
    • Only one copy of each class variable exists and is shared among all instances of the class.

    Class Variables

    • Class variables are initialized with default values if not assigned explicitly.
    • Accessed without creating an instance of the class, using the class name directly.
    • Example demonstrates accessing class variable count.

    Type Casting

    • Type casting is the process of converting values between different data types.
    • Two types of casting:
      • Implicit Casting (Widening): Automatic conversion from a smaller to a larger data type, e.g., int to double.
      • Explicit Casting (Narrowing): Manual conversion from a larger to a smaller data type, e.g., double to int, requiring explicit syntax.
