Java Float shortValue() Method

The shortValue() method of Java Float class returns the value of this object as a short after narrowing the primitive values or by casting to type short.

Syntax:

Parameters:

Override:

The shortValue() method of Float class overrides the shortValue() method of class Number.

Return Value:

The shortValue() method returns the float value corresponding to this Float which has been converted to type short.

Example 1

public class FloatShortValueExample1 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        float f1=40.78f;
        Float f2 =new Float(f1);
        // returning short value
        float f3=f2.shortValue();
        System.out.println("1. "+f2+" after converted to short Value = "+f3);
        // passing negative integer
        Float f4= new Float(-40.78);
        System.out.println("2. "+f4+" after converted to short Value = "+f4.shortValue());

        Float f5= new Float(746587634.444444);
        System.out.println("3. "+f5+" after converted to short Value = "+f5.shortValue());

        Float f6= new Float(0.746587634);
        System.out.println("4. "+f6+" after converted to short Value = "+f6.shortValue());

    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

1. 40.78 after converted to short Value = 40.0
2. -40.78 after converted to short Value = -40
3. 7.4658765E8 after converted to short Value = 1536
4. 0.74658763 after converted to short Value = 0

Example 2

import java.util.Scanner;

public class FloatShortValueExample2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.err.print("Enter your percentage : ");
        Float f1 = scanner.nextFloat();
        if(f1<101){
            short f2 =f1.shortValue();

            //System.out.println("Percantage"+);

             if(f2>94){
                 System.out.println("You % matches with the FIRST cut off list");
            }
            else if(f2>89&&f2<95){
                 System.out.println("You % matches with the SECOND cut off list");

             }
             else if(f2>82&&f2<90) {
                 System.out.println("You % matches with the THIRD cut off list");
             }
             else{
                 System.out.println("If seats are left, we will update FOURTH cut off list and than you can try.");
             }
             }
             else
             System.out.println("Enter a valid percentage");

    }

}

Test it Now

Output:

Enter your percentage: 89
You % matches with the THIRD cut off list

Example 3

public class FloatShortValueExample3 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Float f1 =Float.MIN_VALUE;
        System.out.println("1. "+ f1 +" Short value = "+f1.shortValue());
        Float f2 =Float.MAX_VALUE;
        System.out.println("2. "+ f2 +" Short value = "+f2.shortValue());
        Float f3 =Float.MIN_NORMAL;
        System.out.println("3. "+ f3+" Short value = "+f3.shortValue());
        Float f4 =Float.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
        System.out.println("4. "+ f4+" Short value = "+f4.shortValue());
        Float f5 =Float.POSITIVE_INFINITY;
        System.out.println("5. "+ f5+" Short value = "+f5.shortValue());
        Float f6 =Float.NaN;
        System.out.println("6. "+f6+" Short value = "+f6.shortValue());


    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

1. 1.4E-45 Short value = 0
2. 3.4028235E38 Short value = -1
3. 1.17549435E-38 Short value = 0
4. -Infinity Short value = 0
5. Infinity Short value = -1
6. NaN Short value = 0
