Description
Description
I got confused when I looked at this section. I thought at first that Java has all of the primitive data types as non-objects, but it does not.
I think something like "Java started with some of the basic data types, but because of the combining of objects and non-objects, object counterparts were invented" or something that shows the progression and includes both.
This will help make "boxing" understandable too

Research direction
Start with the section identified as 3.1 and compare its explanation of object and non-object datatypes with the issue description and screenshot. Clarify how Java's primitive types relate to object counterparts and how that leads to boxing; done means the distinction and progression are understandable to a reader.
