Fundamental Question about int vs Integer
807607Jan 23 2007 — edited Jan 23 2007I don't really understand what the difference is between using the "int" keyword and using the Integer type. I've come to realise that "int" cannot be null whereas Integer can be null but why isn't int just an Integer type? Like an alias of sorts. I realise this a fairly basic question but I'm sure I'm not the only one pondering this :)
