Java Primitive Types: int vs. Integer

by

Short answer: An int is a number; an Integer is a pointer that can reference an object that contains a number. Using Integer for arithmetic involves more CPU cycles and consumes more memory. An int is not an object and cannot passed to any method that requires objects (just like what you said about Generics).
