why(boolean b3=true;)(Boolean b4=true;)is both right?

[Jianfeng Qian]

shoud'nt be
Boolean=new Boolean(true);
or
Boolean=new Boolean("true");

I am assuming that you are using Java 1.5, which is why "Boolean b4 = true" works. Java 1.5 introduced an autoboxing feature which converts between primative types and their object counterparts automatically.

Hey there, when you study for the exam, and wish to try out codes, please make sure you are using the 1.4 compiler. As mentioned, Boolean something = false works because version 1.5 introduces an autoboxing feature. But in 1.4, this is a compilation error. So please pay special attention to this, else you may study the wrong thing.

Unless, of course, you're studying for the 1.5 exam. The general rule is: know what exam you're preparing for, and make sure you are using the correct JDK for that exam.

Thank you .
Yes,I am using 1.5.
I will install 1.4 tomorrow
