Java[edit]
- The language probably doesn't support arrays of booleans either. Instead arrays of bytes are usually used.
- The packages system in unrealscript is more awkward: you can't explicitely define to what package a class belongs which can lead to some ambiguities.
- Java uses boxing/unboxing to translate primitive data types (string, integer...) to their corresponding object forms when necessary.
- In fact, the package system in UnrealScript is very explicit: a class belongs to the package it was declared in. Classes with identical names in different packages are discouraged, but possible. If you ignore this convention, you pay by potentially not being able to use typecasting as you wanted. Java does support boolean arrays, it's just usually more common to use a BitSet object due to its better memory usage. —Wormbo 12:32, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Relevance[edit]
