No need for creating Short objects explicitly?
java
Solution
This is called autoboxing. It is a feature that automatically converts primitives to their corresponding object type. It is present since Java 1.5.
The opposite of autoboxing is called autounboxing but beware of NullPointerException
Problem
Following code works perfect and adds 1 and 2 values to the list, but why? Why you don't need to create Short objects explicitly? e.g: `list.add(new Short(1));` ``` List<Short> list = new ArrayList(); list.add((short)1); list.add((short)2); System.out.println(list); ```
