numberWithIntvalue

numberWithIntvalue is a common, but not standardized, name used in some programming libraries for a factory function that constructs a numeric wrapper object from a primitive integer value. In languages that distinguish between primitive numbers and object wrappers, such a function enables wrapping an int into a reference type that can be stored in collections or passed through APIs expecting objects.

Typical signature and behavior: numberWithIntvalue(value) accepts an integer (commonly 32- or 64-bit) and returns an immutable numeric object representing that value. The exact return type depends on the language or library (for example, Number, NSNumber, or java.lang.Integer). Some implementations may employ internal caching for small integers.

Usage example: In pseudocode, a developer would write: let n = numberWithIntvalue(42). Then n can be used wherever an object is required, such as in arrays or dictionaries that hold generic objects. Access to the numeric value is provided by a method or property (e.g., intValue or toInt).

Relation to other APIs: Similar factory methods include numberWithInt, numberWithValue, or the constructors of numeric wrapper classes. The exact naming and memory-management rules vary by language. In environments with automatic memory management, there may be no manual lifecycle handling.
