Java Short Class

The short class wraps a primitive short type value in an object. Its object contains only a single field whose type is short.

Methods:

The java.lang.Short class provides several different methods for converting a short to a String or vice versa. This class also provides other constants and methods which are useful when we are dealing with short.

Methods	Description
byteValue()	It returns the value of this Short as a short
compare()	It compares the two specified short values
compareTo()	It compares two Short objects numerically
compareUnsigned()	It compares the two unsigned short values
decode()	It is used to decode a String into a Short
doubleValue()	It returns a double value for this Short object
equals()	It is used to compare this object against the specified short object
floatValue()	It returns the value of this Short as a Float
hashCode()	It returns a hash code for this Short object
intValue()	It returns an int value for this Short object
longValue()	It returns a long value for this Short object
parseShort()	It is used to parse the string argument as a signed decimal short.
reverseBytes()	It returns the value fetched by reversing the order of the bytes in 2's complement representation of the given short value.
shortValue()	It returns a short value for this Short object
toString()	This method returns a string representation for the Short's object
toUnsignedInt()	It is used to convert the specified short to an int by an unsigned conversion
toUnsignedLong()	It is used to convert the specified short to a long by an unsigned conversion
valueOf()	Returns a Short instance representing the specified short or string value.

Example 1

public class JavaShortExample1 {
    static int i=1;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Short short1 = 500 ;
        Short short2 = 12 ;
        Short short3=12;
       // It compares two Short objects numerically
        int val = short1.compareTo(short2);
        if (val>0) {
            System.out.println(i++ + ". "+short1 + " is greater than " + short2);
        }
        else{
            System.out.println(i++ + ". "+short2 + " is greater than " + short1);
        }
        //It is used check whether both short values are equal or not.
        Boolean b1 = short3.equals(short2);
        if (b1) {
            System.out.println(i++ + ". "+short2 + " and " + short3 +" are equal.");
        }
        else{
            System.out.println(i++ + ". "+short1 + " and " + short2 +" are not equal.");
        }
        //returns the value of this Short as a long
        Long f3 = short2.longValue();
        System.out.println(i++ + ". "+"Long value of "+short2+ " is : "+f3);
        //Returns a string representation of the Short?s object
        String f4 = short2.toString();
        System.out.println(i++ + ". "+"String value of "+short2+ " is : "+f4);
       //It returns a double value for this Short object
        Double f5 = short1.doubleValue();
        System.out.println(i++ + ". "+"Double value of "+short1+ " is : "+f5);
    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

1. 500 is greater than 12
2. 12 and 12 are equal.
3. Long value of 12 is : 12
4. String value of 12 is : 12
5. Double value of 500 is : 500.0

Example 2

public class JavaShortExample2 {
    static int i=1;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Short short1 = 50 ;
        Short short2 = 607 ;
        //compares the two specified short values
        int val = Short.compare(short1,short2);
        if (val>0) {
            System.out.println(i++ + ". "+short1 + " is greater than " + short2);
        }
        else{
            System.out.println(i++ + ". "+short2 + " is greater than " + short1);
        }
        // returns the hash code of short value short1
        int f1 = short1.hashCode();
        System.out.println(i++ + ". "+"Hash code value of "+short1+ " is : "+f1);
       //returns the value of this Short as a Float
        Float f2 = short2.floatValue();
        System.out.println(i++ + ". "+"Float value of "+short2+ " is : "+f2);
        //returns the value of this Short as a Float
        Integer f3 = short2.intValue();
        System.out.println(i++ + ". "+"Integer value of "+short2+ " is : "+f3);
        //decodes a String into a Short
        String str="123";
        Short f4 = Short.decode(str);
        System.out.println(i++ + ". "+"Decoded value of string value "+str+ " is : "+f4);
    }
}

Test it Now

Output:

1. 607 is greater than 50
2. Hash code value of 50 is : 50
3. Float value of 607 is : 607.0
4. Integer value of 607 is : 607
5. Decoded value of string value 123 is : 123
