Doubt in Boolean and Character class

[Karthikeyan Balasubramanian]

Hii all....

i had a doubt in it.
1.toString(primitive)------
2.valueOf(String)----------
is there such methods for Character and Boolean......y it was not specified in the book.
Thnaks in advance.

Chapter 6 of what book?

[Karthikeyan Balasubramanian]

Hi.....i thought K&B book was defalut one.
it was in the K&B book.

I assume that you are talking about the book by K&B.

Boolean and Character both classes have valueOf() methods.
toString is available only for Boolean.

[GS]: toString is available only for Boolean.

No.

You know, the API can easily answer a question like this. Even without the API, you should know that every class inherits toString() from OBject or another superclass, if it doesn't have a toString() of its own.

[KB]: y it was not specified in the book.

Because the book does not necessarily list every method of every class, especially when they are standard methods inherited by all classes.
