Episode Synopsis

Ever wondered why Java has both primitive types and wrapper classes like Integer, Double, and Boolean? In this beginner-friendly episode, we dive into Wrapper Classes in Java—what they are, why they exist, and when you should use them over primitive data types.We explain how wrapper classes allow primitives to behave like objects, enabling powerful features like collections (List, Map, etc.), autoboxing/unboxing, and null values. We also break down the key differences between primitives and their wrapper counterparts, and discuss the performance trade-offs you should be aware of.By the end of this episode, you'll have a solid understanding of how wrapper classes fit into Java's object-oriented design and when it's best to use them in real-world applications.Perfect for Java beginners, coding interview prep, or anyone brushing up on core Java concepts!#Java #JavaProgramming #WrapperClasses #JavaBasics #JavaForBeginners #LearnJava #PrimitiveVsWrapper #JavaTutorial #CoreJava #ObjectOrientedProgramming #CodingPodcast #TechPodcast #JavaConcepts #JavaTips #Autoboxing #JavaInterviewPrep #DeveloperEducation#Pithoracademy
