Java: Wrapper Types and Autoboxing
Answer
Autoboxing can lead to increased memory usage and CPU overhead.
When primitives are autoboxed, Java creates new objects, increasing memory consumption and processing time, especially in loops or large-scale operations. This could be significant in performance-sensitive applications.
