Message:

int is not the same as Integer

Posted by ping203 on January 16, 2002 at 10:32 AM

In Java, Integer is different from int.
Integer is a class while int is a primitive type.
Since they are different types, that's why you get the incompatible type error when you assign an int type to an Integer type.

And in your case, I guess it is better off to use int(or float) than Integer.
