public final class Short

ImplementsComparable<Short>

The Short class is the standard wrapper for short values. Since: JDK1.1, CLDC 1.0

Fields

`public static final short MAX_VALUE = 32767`	The maximum value a Short can have.
`public static final short MIN_VALUE = -32768`	The minimum value a Short can have.
`public static final` `Class<Short> TYPE`
`public static final int BYTES = 2`	The size of a short in bytes.
`public static final int SIZE = 16`	The size of a short in bits.

Constructors

`public Short(short value)`	Constructs a Short object initialized to the specified short value.
`public Short(String s) throws NumberFormatException`	Deprecated A Short of `parseShort(s)`.

Methods

`public boolean equals(Object obj)`	Compares this object to the specified object.
`public int hashCode()`	Returns a hashcode for this Short.
`public static short parseShort(String s) throws NumberFormatException`	Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short’s value.
`public static short parseShort(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException`	Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short’s value in the radix specified by the second argument.
`public short shortValue()`	Returns the value of this Short as a short.
`public` `String toString()`	Returns a String object representing this Short’s value.
`public static` `Short valueOf(short i)`	Returns the object instance of i
`public int intValue()`
`public long longValue()`
`public float floatValue()`
`public double doubleValue()`
`public int compareTo(Short another)`	Compares this object to the specified object to determine their relative order.
`public static int compare(short s1, short s2)`
`public static` `String toString(short s)`	The decimal string of `s`.
`public static` `Short valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException`	A Short of `parseShort(s)`.
`public static` `Short valueOf(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException`	A Short of `parseShort(s, radix)`.
`public static` `Short decode(String nm) throws NumberFormatException`	Decodes a decimal, hexadecimal or octal short, as `Integer.decode`.
`public static int hashCode(short value)`	The value itself.
`public static int compareUnsigned(short x, short y)`	Compares the two as unsigned values.
`public static int toUnsignedInt(short x)`	The value as an unsigned int.
`public static long toUnsignedLong(short x)`	The value as an unsigned long.
`public static short reverseBytes(short i)`	The bytes in reverse order.

Constructor details

Short

public Short(short value)

Constructs a Short object initialized to the specified short value. value - the initial value of the Short

Short

Deprecated.

A Short of parseShort(s).

Throws

NumberFormatException

Method details

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this object to the specified object.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode for this Short.

parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s)
throws NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short’s value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Throws

NumberFormatException

parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s, int radix)
throws NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short’s value in the radix specified by the second argument. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short.

Throws

NumberFormatException

shortValue

public short shortValue()

Returns the value of this Short as a short.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String object representing this Short’s value.

valueOf

public static Short valueOf(short i)

Returns the object instance of i

Parameters

i short: the primitive

Returns

object instance

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

compareTo

public int compareTo(Short another)

Compares this object to the specified object to determine their relative order.

Parameters

another Short: the object to compare to this instance.

Returns

a negative integer if this instance is less than another; a positive integer if this instance is greater than another; 0 if this instance has the same order as another.

Throws

ClassCastException: if another cannot be converted into something comparable to this instance.
