A null-pointing String reference when asked to cough up its String value with the + op, returns the literal 'null'. When any method is invoked though, there has to be a valid object to the ref.

    Is it fear of Drinking kava becuase 13 parasites will attack you?

    Okay Ash, what the hell is, paraskavedekatriaphobes?

    You might confuse it with String literals, which are objects, too.

    Try

    System.out.println("I'm an Object!".length());




    Hey, I didn't mean there was one! But the autoboxing feature seems to give a certain transparency to the use of primitives and their wrappers, it's as though something like that already existing with strings.

    So how many of you are paraskavedekatriaphobes??

    After reading the discussion about autoboxing in this thread, I got to thinking that what the Javagods have come up with as autoboxing can be considered to have kind-of existed even earlier, with the String class.

    Here is the "alternate theory":

    is essentially a wrapper class for a primitive type called string.

    This perspective might help people trying to grapple with the intricacies of autoboxing (such as the one discussed in that thread) in light of known existing behavior - that of String.

    Most of the developers said so!

    You can look for arguments on the web about the developer community's reaction to the introduction of generics into Java.

    Sorry no time to look up some links for you, but when there's google there is ...
    That seems to be a good way of doing it. I hope I don't find it too tedious to spawn another thread in an adjacent forum and the forum software we use makes it quite easy (lazy me )

    Cheers.
    This is a general programming concept. Most simply:

    A compile-time error is a problem found at compile time.

    A runtime error is anything that goes wrong at runtime -- in Java, runtime errors are usually indicated/communicated via exceptions (Throwable and family).

    Overriding is an object-oriented feature and is connected with class families and polymorphism. Static members are theoretically outside the bounds of pure OO. Read up on this and you will see light!
    What makes you think this shouldnt work? That might help us find an answer.
