Hi,

is it possible to declare a variable as

Object obj=100;
or
Socket s = 100;

as we declare int i=100;

If so, kindly let me know the way of declaraion and how to

print the value.

Thanks in Advance,
Moses.

No you can't, and if you think about it, it does not make any sense at all. Try walking into a bakery, a butcher, or a clothing store, and ask for 100. They will not understand. Same goes for objects. If you setup a Socket variable, it needs a Socket (or one of its sub-class) to be assigned to it. 100 is not a Socket.
