Boxing & UnBoxing

• Boxing?
  
  Converts expressions of primitive type to corresponding expressions of reference type.
  int intValue = 0;
  Integer intObject = intValue;bytecode:For Boxing Java compiler uses valueOf() instead of constructor. This is beneficial since it allows for caching, and doesn’t force the creation of a new object on each boxing operation.
  
  
• Un-Boxing?
  
  Converts expressions of reference type to corresponding expressions of primitive type.
  Integer intObject = new Integer(0);
  int intValue = intObject;
  
  bytecode:
  For Un-Boxing Java compiler uses intValue(), which Returns the value of this Integer as an int.
