Answer / uday
We use boxing and un-boxing when we assign a value to an
object and vice-versa.
Ex:
Int i=10;
Object o=i //this is boxing
int j=(int)o; //this is unboxing
When u say boxing, an object box is allocated and then the
value is copied to that box.
When u unbox, the value is copied out of the object box and
copied into storage location.

Answer / deepak
actually we need boxing and unboxing to keep more than one type of value type of variables in a common reference type of collection.. so that you can do the common operation in a loop or anywhere else.. by unboxing one by one.. also you can pass that collection to any method.. so you dont need to make many overloaded method for every type of value type..
