Autoboxing is the process of converting a primitive type data into its corresponding wrapper class object instance.

Example:

Integer number = new Integer (100); // number is now refers to the object 100

Example: 

Integer number = new Integer (100); 

int num = number;// without type casting number would be changed into int type
