What are the default values of boolean (primitive) and Boolean (primitive wrapper) in Java?
The default value for a Boolean (object) is null.
The default value for a boolean (primitive) is false.
The default value of any Object, such as Boolean, is null.
The default value for a boolean is false.
Note: Every primitive has a wrapper class. Every wrapper uses a reference which has a default of null. Primitives have different default values:
boolean -> false
byte, char, short, int, float -> 0
float, double -> 0.0
Note (2): void has a wrapper Void which also has a default of null and is it's only possible value (without using hacks).
boolean
Can be true or false.
Default value is false.

Boolean
Can be a Boolean object representing true or false, or can be null.
Default value is null.
If you need to ask, then you need to explicitly initialize your fields/variables, because if you have to look it up, then chances are someone else needs to do that too.
The value for a primitive boolean is false as can be seen here.
As mentioned by others the value for a Boolean will be null by default.
Boolean is an Object. So if it's an instance variable it will be null. If it's declared within a method you will have to initialize it, or there will be a compiler error.
If you declare as a primitive i.e. boolean. The value will be false by default if it's an instance variable (or class variable). If it's declared within a method you will still have to initialize it to either true or false, or there will be a compiler error.
An uninitialized Boolean member (actually a reference to an object of type Boolean) will have the default value of null.
An uninitialized boolean (primitive) member will have the default value of false.
There is no default for Boolean. Boolean must be constructed with a boolean or a String. If the object is unintialized, it would point to null.
The default value of primitive boolean is false.
