In Java, an int is a primitive type and an Integer is a class. Basically, an Integer is just an int primitive wrapped up in a class. Mainly this is used for the generics introduced in Java 1.5. Primitive types cannot be used as generic types, so there was a need for classes to wrap around all primitive types so that you can declare things such as List<Integer>.

Would you explain diff between int and integer?

In Java, int is a primitive data type that is used to hold numeric values. for example an int variable can be used to hold your age in a Java program. Integer is the Wrapper class for the int data type. In Java there are a lot of in built features that work only on objects. under such circumstances we can wrap the primitive data type in its wrapper and use it. For example: int x = 10; Integer xObj = newInteger(x); if you want to know the value contained in xObj, then we use the method intValue(). xObj.intValue() would return the value 10 contained in it.
