Foil 70 java.lang.Object Wrappers

From CPS616 Lectures on Java CPS616 Basic Information Track for Computational Science -- Winter-Spring Semester 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox * See also color IMAGE

"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);
