Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 08 - Java Wrapper Classes - an Introduction - Why and What?

This video introduces wrapper classes in Java, explaining their purpose and benefits. Wrapper classes are Java classes that encapsulate primitive data types, providing additional functionality such as utility methods and the ability to convert strings to primitive types. They also allow primitive values to be stored in collections, which require objects. The video covers the Java equivalents of primitive types, such as Integer for int and Character for char, and highlights the importance of wrapper classes in Java programming. The video concludes with a promise to explore wrapper classes and their methods in more detail in the next video.
