What is the difference between Boolean.TRUE and true in Java?

Question

PS: I understand the difference between \"true\" and true.

Edit: I also understand that Boolean.TRUE is a wrapper for the primitive true, my question then is - why d

Answer 1

Boolean.TRUE is a wrapper object and singleton . true is a literal constant. Below are 2 situations where I use wrappers over primitives

1. I want to store them in Collections
2. I'd want to have a notion of null. primitive boolean can only represent two states.
