Wrapper classes allow primitive data types to be accessed
as object.
One assigned a value the value of wrapper calsses cann't be
changed.
thay are used to convert value of one data type to another.

Answer / rama krishna dwadasi

There are 8 wrapper classes which are equivalent to 8
primitive data types.

Primitive type Wrapper Class
1. byte Byte
2. short Short
3. int Integer
4. long Long
5. float Float
6. double Double
7. char Character
8. boolean Boolean

Wrapper classes are useful in the following ways:-
1. Wrapper classes are used to convert one data type to
another data type. For example:- converting int to double,
double to float, float to String, String to float etc.
2. We can convert primitive to objects and objects to
primitive. For example:- In collections we cannot store
primitive values and we have to store only objects.

Note: All primitive types can be converted to String and
corresponding Wrapper objects.

Following are the general conversions we generally do.
1. primitive to wrapper. (int to Integer).
2. one primitive to another primitive type.(int to float).
3. primitive to String. (int to String).
4. wrapper to primitive.(Integer to int)
5. wrapper to String.(Integer to String)
6. String to primitive.(String to int)
7. String to wrapper.(String to Integer)

1Q: How to convert primitives to wrapper objects?
A: 1) By using the corresponding constructor.
2) By using valueOf(primitive type) method

//Program to convert primitive to wrapper object

// 1) By using constructor
//2) By using valueOf() method

// to convert to int to wrapper object
int i = 10;
Integer x = new Integer(i);
Integer p = Integer.valueOf(i);

//to convert double to wrapper object
double d = 99.99;
Double y = new Double(d);
Double q = Double.valueOf(d);

//to convert boolean to wrapper object
boolean b = true;
Boolean z = new Boolean(b);
Boolean r = Boolean.valueOf(b);

Answer / thara

Primitive types are not objects in Java
Many methods are available in the Java library that work
only for objects
Wrapper classes are used to represent primitive data types
as objects.
Boolean, Character, Byte, Short, Integer, Long, Float, and
Double.
Object wrappers for the corresponding native data type.
Object Oriented implementation of the primitive data types

Answer / divya

Wrapping is the process of converting primitive data type
into objects,the Java API provide a set of classes that
make the process easier ,such classes are called Wrapper
classes.The classes which helps for wrapping is called
Wrapped classes.

I have a sorting issue with a Hashmap. My constraint is that I MUST use the Hashmap and work with existing code. I do a database query and place the results in a Hashmap. When I iterate thru the Hashmap, it loses the original alphabetical sorting done by the database. So, my problem is that I must sort the results coming out of the Hashmap which is then placed into another class.
