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.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

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
