Library Classes

Wrapper Classes are library classes in Java which are used to convert a primitive data type into an
object and vice versa

They are present in the ‘java.lang’ package which is a preloaded package in every Java class

java.lang = contains classes for basic programming like – wrapper classes, String, Math functions,etc.

java.util = holds basic utility classes such as Scanner and Printer

java.io = has classes for input and output of data

java.awt = has classes to implement or manage Graphical User Interface

java.net = has classes for networks

java.applets = has classes for using applets

* wrapper classes are needed to convert primitive data types into objects and objects are needed to
pass arguments as references to methods, whenever required

* wrapper classes provide various methods that help in converting various data types to the required
data types

Autoboxing –

Automatic conversion of primitive data types to objects of their corresponding wrapper classes is
known as autoboxing

Done automatically by the compiler

e.g. –

int a = 12 ;

Integer b = a ; //autoboxing

int a = 12 ;

Integer b = new Integer(a) ; // not autoboxing but manual boxing

b = a ; //autoboxing
Unboxing –

Automatic conversion of an object of a wrapper class to its corresponding primitive data type

Done by the compiler

e.g. –

Integer a = 23 ;

int b = a ; //unboxing

Integer a = 23 ;

int b = a.intValue() ;// unboxing ?? *doubt* probably not unboxing but manual boxing

Parsing – refers to analysing a String and extracting relevant data from it as per the requirement

Methods to parse a String into a primitive data type -

i. String to integer –

Integer.parseInt()

Integer.valueOf()

String s = “25” ;

int i = Integer.parseInt(s) ;

or

int i = Integer.valueOf(s) ;

ii. String to long –

Long.parseLong()

Long.valueOf()

String s = “123456789” ;

long l = Long.parseLong(s) ;

or

long l = Long.valueOf(s) ;

iii. String to float –

Float.parseFloat()

Float.valueOf()

String s = “12.45” ;

float f = Float.parseFloat(s) ;
or

float f = Float.valueOf(s) ;

iv. String to double –

Double.parseDouble()

Double.valueOf()

String s = “14.123” ;

double d = Double.parseDouble(s) ;

or

double d = Double.valueOf(s) ;

Character Functions –

i. Character.isLetter() iii. Character.isLetterOrDigit() v. Character.isLowerCase()

ii. Character.isDigit() iv. Character.isWhiteSpace() vi. Character.isUpperCase()

vii. Character.toLowerCase()

viii. Character.toUpperCase()

don’t forget to mention argument within the parenthesis in examination


** argument = char ch **
