What is the appropriate way to handle warning: "The expression of type x is boxed into x"
I'm not looking to to turn off or ignore the warning as in The expression of type x is boxed into X?.
I'd like to know what the correct way to handle/avoid this warning is if one was so inclined.
Answer
Boxing and unboxing are operations you can do by hand, but they're build into the language to avoid the repetition you will undoubtedly encounter.
Integer obj = Integer.valueOf(5); // instead of Integer obj = 5;
int i = obj.intValue(); // instead of int i = obj;
In my opinion, the appropriate way to handle that warning to turn it off. But if that is not an option, you can do the above.
