Answer
Wrapper classes are useful when null values are needed or when using collections.
Wrapper classes like Integer and Double can be used in situations where null values are necessary, such as indicating an undefined state. They are also compatible with Java collections, which cannot hold primitive types directly. For example, a List can be used to hold a sequence of numbers with the possibility of null entries, unlike an int[].
