Data type and Wrapper class in java

DATAYPE AND WRAPPER CLASS

DATATYPE

• Java language support the concept of primitive datatype like c or c++
• If a language support primitive datatype that language cannot be a pure object oriented programming language.
• To make java language pure object oriented it supports the concept of wrapper class.
• As java language support the concept of architecture neutral the size of primitive data type is fixed for all the environment.

WRAPPER CLASS

• For each datatype java provide a predefined class ,technically known as wrapper class in java.
• Wrapper class are used to convert data type an object .In java primitive datatype are not object they don’t belongs to any class.
• All the wrapper class present in java.lang package.
• Wrapper class are also used for type conversion.
• All the wrapper class are final class it can’t be inherited.

NOTE    Signed and unsigned keyword are not available in java like c or c++,by default datatype is always signed in nature.
