java uses simple or primitive data types, such as int, char and Boolean etc. These data types are not part of the object hierarchy. They are passed by value to methods and cannot be directly passed by reference. However, at times there is a need to create an object representation of these simple data types. To address this need, Java provides classes that correspond to each of these simple types. These classes encapsulate, or wrap, the simple data type within a class. Thus, they are commonly referred to as wrapper classes.

Wrapper classes corresponding to respective simple data types are as given in table below.

Primitive Data Types

Wrapper class

byte

Byte

short

Short

int

Integer

long

Long

char

Character

float

Float

double

Double

boolean

Boolean

void

Void

eg

Say supposing there is a requirement to store only the

object in an array A.The Primitive types cannot be stored in

the same array as the array can accommodate only Objects

here is where Wrapper Class come into picture.ie, we create

wrapper for the primitive types.One such example is as below

Ex:int i;

Wrapper class for the primitive type(int) is created as below:

Integer i = new Integer();

What do you get when you compile a java program?

The java interpreter or JVM (Java Virtual Machine) is not able to execute the java source code for a program. The java source code first needs to be compiled into bytecode that can be processed by JVM. Producing bytecode make the program platform independent as each platform has its own JVM. It is also possible to directly write bytecode, bypassing the need to compile, but that would be tedious job and also not good for security purpose as the compiler checks for various errors in a program.
