Hi Drew

I am trying to put a numeric value into an Number object using:

But I get "incompatible types" on compile.

I'm new to Java but this seems analogous to the Java

public String tempString = "abc";

There is no boxing in Java. You need to convert explicitely between native and object types. The String example works because "abc" is a String object, it is not a native type. There is no native type for strings.

Which compiles fine.

I get the same "incompatible types" with:

public Integer tempNum = 1;

What am I missing?
