public class ModifiableInteger extends Number implements Comparable<ModifiableInteger>
ModifiableInteger
class wraps a value of the primitive type int
in
an object, similarly to Integer
. An object of type
ModifiableInteger
contains a single field whose type is int
.
Unlike java.lang.Integer
, the int value which the ModifiableInteger represents can
be modified. It becomes useful when used together with the collection framework. For example, if
you want to have a List
of counters. You could use Integer
but
that would have became wasteful and inefficient if you frequently had to update the counters.
WARNING: Because instances of this class are mutable, great care must be exercised if used as
keys of a Map
or as values in a Set
in a manner that affects
equals comparisons while the instances are keys in the map (or values in the set). For more see
documentation of Map
and Set
.

@Deprecated public ModifiableInteger()

constructor instead !!!
This constructor is for the use of java.beans.XMLDecoder deserialization. The constructor is marked as 'deprecated' to indicate to the programmer against using it by mistake.
