need clarification in this statement.

[Unsub]

I need some basic clarification with the following code. Please bare with me, I am still just a noob when it comes to all of this.


When using the follwing;

variable.method()

e.g. 

int numberOne = 0;
numberOne.randomMethod();

is the 'variable' actually an object. An object that inherites all avaible methods provided by its Class and/or Parent Class(es)?

In the instance of my example, numberOne is actually an instance of a int object?
-or-
Is an int actually a primitave data type. Which, correct me if I am wrong, isn't actually the same as an object?

Yep, ints, doubles etc are the 'primitive' types of the Java language, all the others are the 'reference' types of the language. Primitives don't have methods nor members. Arrays are a bit strange: they are objects but don't have any methods nor can they be extended.

kind regards,

Jos
