I know that if you compare a boxed primitive Integer with a constant such as:
Integer a = 4;
if (a < 5)
a will automatically be unboxed and the comparison will work.
However, what happens when you are comparing two boxed Integers and want to compare either equality or less than/greater than?
Integer a = 4;
Integer b = 5;
if (a == b)
Will the above code result in checking to see if they are the same object, or will it auto-unbox in that case?
What about:
Integer a = 4;
Integer b = 5;
if (a < b)
?
