Foil 33 java.lang.Object Wrappers

From Feb 3 Delivered Lecture for Course CPS616 -- Java Lecture 4 -- AWT Through I/O CPS616 spring 1997 -- Feb 3 1997. by Nancy McCracken * See also color IMAGE
Secs 37.4
"types" such as int char float etc. are NOT classes
Thus one cannot use methods such as
int var;
var.toString
Thus ALL types have associated wrappers used like
Character wrappedchar = new Character(char);
now wrappedchar has lots of good methods you can use such as:
wrappedchar.equals(anotherobject);
wrappedchar.toString();
There are also static (class) functions such as:
toUppercase(char ch);
isUpperCase(char ch);
