Re: Autoboxing Question 14 Years Ago by JamesCherrill I knew I'd seen this before... [QUOTE]Autoboxing uses Integer.valueOf, which internally caches Integer objects for small … Re: Autoboxing Question 14 Years Ago by NormR1 Good example of a potential problem with Autoboxing. i and j are objects but the compiler allows you to use them like primitives, EXCEPT for your example. BTW I don't care for compilers hiding things like this to save a few key strokes. Is the valueOf method called during autoboxing ? 14 Years Ago by daudiam Is it true that during autoboxing, the type.valueOf() method is called (which creates a new object only if another with the same primitive constant is not in the intern list. This applies to cases where interning is allowed. Otherwise, it creates a new object using new() ). Is this right ? Re: Is the valueOf method called during autoboxing ? 14 Years Ago by ~s.o.s~ [quote]Is it true that during autoboxing, the type.valueOf() method is called (which creates a new … Autoboxing Question 14 Years Ago by BestJewSinceJC [CODE] Integer i = 5; Integer j = 5; if (i == j) System.out.println("true"); [/CODE] ^ Prints true [CODE] Integer i = new Integer(5); Integer j = new Integer(5); if (i == j) System.out.println("true"); [/CODE] ^ Does not print true. I understand that in the second case, the == is comparing the references. But why not in the… Re: Autoboxing Question 14 Years Ago by JamesCherrill Because Integers are final, and can't change, maybe the compiler optimises by creating one Integer(5) and pointing both refs at it (like Strings). ? ???

Re: Autoboxing Question 14 Years Ago by BestJewSinceJC Very useful link s.o.s. and thanks everyone for the replies. To summarize (for anyone who comes to this thread at a later date) I tested the theory of s.o.s's link by using [CODE] Integer i = 127; Integer j = 127; if (i == j) System.out.println("true"); [/CODE] And it prints true, but [CODE] Integer i = 128; Integer j = 128; if (i == j… Re: Is the valueOf method called during autoboxing ? 14 Years Ago by daudiam Thanks Generics and += 15 Years Ago by sciwizeh … tried to make sure that it extends number, but the autoboxing doesn't seem to work with generics. can anyone help… Re: Generics and += 15 Years Ago by masijade … classes that extend Number can use those operators (only through autoboxing of course, which Number, of course, also can't do… Casting of int[] to Object[] 15 Years Ago by legilimen … (Object a){ } main(){ call(10); } [/CODE] it works because of autoboxing But why didn't the language designers support something like… getClientproperty 13 Years Ago by scheppy … value btw, im using java 1.4.2, so no autoboxing I know how to get int values, and here is… INTs not getting interned during autoboxing 14 Years Ago by daudiam I understand that int values, when autoboxed, are interned i.e no 2 objects containing the same int are present, and so we can compare two Integers by == So why does the following happen :[CODE]Integer iRef1=1000; Integer iRef2=1000; System.out.println(iRef1 == iRef2); System.out.println(iRef1.equals(iRef2));[/CODE] This prints [CODE]false true[/… Re: INTs not getting interned during autoboxing 14 Years Ago by daudiam Sorry, I failed to notice that INTs are interned only when they are in the range of -128 to 127 Re: Arrays and ArrayList 17 Years Ago by masijade … its elements as if it were an int, thanks to autoboxing, but if you want a real int array, you will… the Integer[]) into the int[] (you can, once again, let autoboxing make the conversions, but you will have to copy the… Re: how many of you use 1.5? 20 Years Ago by jwenting … if you do a lot of looping (which we do).

Re: unexpected type error 18 Years Ago by jwenting char is a primitive, you can't store primitives in Collections. Make it Set<Char> instead, and autoboxing will ensure your chars are converted into Chars and back again.
