Foil 75 java.lang.Object Wrappers

From CRPC Lectures on Java Language Applets Graphics CRPC Annual Meeting Tutorial -- May 14,1996. by Geoffrey C. Fox

"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);
