why to use wrapper class for primitive type code example

Example: java get wrapper class for primitive

// safe because both Long.class and long.class are of type Class<Long>
  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  private static <T> Class<T> wrap(Class<T> c) {
    return c.isPrimitive() ? (Class<T>) PRIMITIVES_TO_WRAPPERS.get(c) : c;
  }

  private static final Map<Class<?>, Class<?>> PRIMITIVES_TO_WRAPPERS
    = new ImmutableMap.Builder<Class<?>, Class<?>>()
      .put(boolean.class, Boolean.class)
      .put(byte.class, Byte.class)
      .put(char.class, Character.class)
      .put(double.class, Double.class)
      .put(float.class, Float.class)
      .put(int.class, Integer.class)
      .put(long.class, Long.class)
      .put(short.class, Short.class)
      .put(void.class, Void.class)
      .build();
