Class: java.lang.Short
- public final class Short
- extends Number
- implements Comparable<Short>
In addition, this class provides several methods for converting a short to a String and a String to a short, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with a short.
Methods
-
Shorttop
public Short(String s) throws NumberFormatExceptionConstructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the short value indicated by the String parameter. The string is converted to a short value in exactly the manner used by the parseShort method for radix 10. -
Shorttop
public Short(short value)Constructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the specified short value. -
byteValuetop
public byte byteValue()Returns the value of this Short as a byte. -
compareTotop
public int compareTo(Short anotherShort)Compares two Short objects numerically. -
decodetop
Decodes a String into a Short. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:
DecimalNumeral, HexDigits, and OctalDigits are defined in §3.10.1 of the Java Language Specification.- DecodableString:
- Signopt DecimalNumeral
- Signopt 0x HexDigits
- Signopt 0X HexDigits
- Signopt # HexDigits
- Signopt 0 OctalDigits
- Sign:
- -
The sequence of characters following an (optional) negative sign and/or radix specifier ("0x", "0X", "#", or leading zero) is parsed as by the Short.parseShort method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or 8). This sequence of characters must represent a positive value or a NumberFormatException will be thrown. The result is negated if first character of the specified String is the minus sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the String.
-
doubleValuetop
public double doubleValue()Returns the value of this Short as a double.- Override hierarchy:
- doubleValue from Number
-
equalstop
public boolean equals(Object obj)Compares this object to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Short object that contains the same short value as this object. -
floatValuetop
public float floatValue()Returns the value of this Short as a float.- Override hierarchy:
- floatValue from Number
-
hashCodetop
public int hashCode()Returns a hash code for this Short. -
intValuetop
public int intValue()Returns the value of this Short as an int. -
longValuetop
public long longValue()Returns the value of this Short as a long. -
parseShorttop
public static short parseShort(String s) throws NumberFormatExceptionParses the string argument as a signed decimal short. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits, except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value. The resulting short value is returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the Short.parseShort(java.lang.String, int) method. -
parseShorttop
public static short parseShort(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatExceptionParses the string argument as a signed short in the radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the string must all be digits, of the specified radix (as determined by whether Character.digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value) except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value. The resulting short value is returned.An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:
- The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
- The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
- Any character of the string is not a digit of the
specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus
sign '-' (
'\u002D') provided that the string is longer than length 1. - The value represented by the string is not a value of type short.
-
reverseBytestop
public static short reverseBytes(short i)Returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bytes in the two's complement representation of the specified short value. -
shortValuetop
public short shortValue()Returns the value of this Short as a short.- Override hierarchy:
- shortValue from Number
-
toStringtop
public String toString()Returns a String object representing this Short's value. The value is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the short value were given as an argument to the Short.toString(short) method. -
toStringtop
public static String toString(short s)Returns a new String object representing the specified short. The radix is assumed to be 10. -
valueOftop
Returns a Short object holding the value given by the specified String. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal short, exactly as if the argument were given to the Short.parseShort(java.lang.String) method. The result is a Short object that represents the short value specified by the string.In other words, this method returns a Short object equal to the value of:
new Short(Short.parseShort(s))
-
valueOftop
Returns a Short object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument. The first argument is interpreted as representing a signed short in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the argument were given to the Short.parseShort(java.lang.String, int) method. The result is a Short object that represents the short value specified by the string.In other words, this method returns a Short object equal to the value of:
new Short(Short.parseShort(s, radix))
-
valueOftop
public static Short valueOf(short s)Returns a Short instance representing the specified short value. If a new Short instance is not required, this method should generally be used in preference to the constructor Short.Short(short), as this method is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance by caching frequently requested values.
Fields
-
MAX_VALUE
public static final short MAX_VALUE = 32767A constant holding the maximum value a short can have, 215-1. -
MIN_VALUE
public static final short MIN_VALUE = -32768A constant holding the minimum value a short can have, -215. -
SIZE
public static final int SIZE = 16The number of bits used to represent a short value in two's complement binary form. -
TYPE
The Class instance representing the primitive type short.
