What is the diff between int and Integer in terms of array

[Gobi]

Hi ,
I'm newbie to Java.
Could anyone pls tell me the diff between int and Integer in terms of Array.

int[] iarray = new int[10];

Integer[] iarray = new Interger[10];

I know that , first one is primitive and second one is class.
The second one requires 80 bytes of memory in order to complete the task, as it stores the reference in the array.
Want to know abt the first one , will it behave same as Integer ?
If I want to store 20 integer value , then which one is best WRT performance?

What do you mean by difference? Arrays are arrays are arrays regardless of the type stored in them. They do not exhibit any different behaviour. You use them exactly the same. However, since Integer is the wrapper class of the primitive int and they introduced autoboxing you can do this:

        int[] pArray = new int[5];
        Integer[] cArray = new Integer[5];
        pArray[0] = 10;
        pArray[1] = new Integer(20);
        cArray[0] = 30;
        cArray[1] = new Integer(40);
        System.out.println(pArray[0]);
        System.out.println(pArray[1]);
        System.out.println(cArray[0]);
        System.out.println(cArray[1]);

Notice how you can insert an int into the Integer array and vice versa. What actually happens behind the scenes is the int value is autoboxed into an Integer object and the Integer object is autounboxed into an int.

lemme try out this . thanks for your reply :)

If I want to store 20 integer value , then which one is best WRT performance?

Try both and use a stopwatch or whatever to time them. I doubt if you will detect a difference.
