+----java.lang.Boolean
- public final class Boolean
- extends Object
The Boolean class provides an object wrapper for Boolean data values, and
serves as a place for boolean-oriented operations.
A wrapper is useful because most of Java's utility classes require the use
of objects. Since booleans are not objects in Java, they need to be
"wrapped" in a Boolean instance.
-
