I'm onto casting now....
I've managed to explicitly cast between objects of my own making with
no problem. I've managed to cast ints to floats and between other
base types.
My next plan was simply to cast an int to its "wrapper" equivalent:
Integer t = (Integer) 5;
Nope. Compiler error. Invalid cast.
Am I right in coming to the conclusion that one has to use new Integer(5)
to get an Integer object, instead of casting? Does that imply you
can't cast between the base types and objects at all?
