Chapter 7Passing Primitive Types as Objects

2

• Java provides the classes Integer, Double, Character, Long, and Float so that the values of the primitive data types can be treated as objects

• These classes have limitations

• You can create objects of the type, say Integer, to store int values, but you cannot change the values stored in the objects

• You can create objects of type IntClass and/or change the values of the objects
