OOP Java
The eight primitive data types supported by the Java programming language are:
- byte
- short
- int
- long
- float
- double
- boolean
- char
Autoboxing is the automatic conversion made by the Java compiler between the primitive types and their corresponding object wrapper classes. For example, the compiler converts an int to an Integer, a double to a Double, and so on. If the conversion goes the other way, this operation is called unboxing.
