		Java is strongly typed.  Every declared variable must have a type. Java has eight primitive types.  Basically, everything starts with a primitive. Objects are not primitives, but they are composed of primitives. Many of the primitive types have classes (that can be instantiated into objects) that complement them. Java 5.0 gave us auto boxing and auto unboxing, which allows us to easily convert between primitives and their wrapper classes.
