Java Wrapper Classes Guide

This document discusses Java wrapper classes. Wrapper classes represent primitives as objects and provide utility methods for primitives. The document covers how to create wrapper class objects using constructors and static methods, how to get primitive values from wrapper objects, and how to get a string from a wrapper object.

1. Using wrapper class constructor

● Find out corresponding wrapper class for this primitive.


...
EX: int primitive ->> Integer class
● Create an instance of wrapper class by passing the int value as:

Integer intobj = new Integer(100);

● Intobj will always hold the value of 100.

2. Creating wrapper objects using valueOf() method

● Import a static method valueOf() -> takes a string as argument

valueOf(String s)

● If we want to get wrapper obj for int value 100:


->Find out corresponding wrapper class(Integer here.)
->Invoke Integer.valueOf() by passing string containing int value as:

Integer intObj = Integer.valueOf(“100”);

NOTE: this method throws a runtime exception (NumberFormatException) when string passes
inappropriate arg.
Ex: Integer.valueOf(“hundred”) //error

How to get String object from wrapper objects?

● All wrapper class have a instance method toString().


● It returns a string representing primitive value wrapped by wrapper.
● Wrapper class inherit this method from object class.

public String toString()
