Question

For example the following is syntactically correct code

Double number = 10.0;

Is it possible to define my own class such as Price

Price myPrice = 10.0;

Actually compiles ?

Answer 1

Auto-boxing and auto-unboxing only works with primitives. The concept you are talking about is similar to C++ conversions. Unfortunately, there is no such thing in Java. The best you can do is

Price myPrice = new Price(10.0);
