Field Detail

A constant holding the minimum value a short can have, -2¹⁵.

A constant holding the maximum value a short can have, 2¹⁵-1.

Constructor Detail

Deprecated, for removal. It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. The static factory valueOf(short) is generally a better choice, as it is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance.

Deprecated, for removal. It is rarely appropriate to use this constructor. Use parseShort(String) to convert a string to a short primitive, or use valueOf(String) to convert a string to a Short object. Throws:

Method Detail

Returns a new String object representing the specified short. The radix is assumed to be 10. Returns: See Also:

Parses 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 or an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u002B') to indicate a positive 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') or plus sign '+' ('\u002B') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
• The value represented by the string is not a value of type short.

Returns: Throws:

Parses 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 or an ASCII plus sign '+' ('\u002B') to indicate a positive value. The resulting short value is returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to the parseShort(java.lang.String, int) method. Returns: Throws:

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 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))

Returns: Throws:

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 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))

Returns: Throws:

Returns an Optional containing the nominal descriptor for this instance. Returns: Since:

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), as this method is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance by caching frequently requested values. This method will always cache values in the range -128 to 127, inclusive, and may cache other values outside of this range. Returns: Since:

Decodes a String into a Short. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:

DecodableString:

Sign_opt DecimalNumeral

Sign_opt 0x HexDigits

Sign_opt 0X HexDigits

Sign_opt # HexDigits

Sign_opt 0 OctalDigits

Sign:

-

+

DecimalNumeral, HexDigits, and OctalDigits are as defined in section {@jls 3.10.1} of The Java Language Specification, except that underscores are not accepted between digits.

The sequence of characters following an optional 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.

Returns: Throws: See Also:

Returns the value of this Short as a byte after a narrowing primitive conversion. Returns:

Returns the value of this Short as a short. Returns:

Returns the value of this Short as an int after a widening primitive conversion. Returns:

Returns the value of this Short as a long after a widening primitive conversion. Returns:

Returns the value of this Short as a float after a widening primitive conversion. Returns:

Returns the value of this Short as a double after a widening primitive conversion. Returns:

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 toString(short) method. Returns:

Returns a hash code for this Short; equal to the result of invoking intValue(). Returns: See Also:

Returns a hash code for a short value; compatible with Short.hashCode(). Returns: Since:

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. Parameters: Returns: See Also:

Compares two Short objects numerically. Parameters: Returns: Since:

Compares two short values numerically. The value returned is identical to what would be returned by:

    Short.valueOf(x).compareTo(Short.valueOf(y))
 

Returns: Since:

Compares two short values numerically treating the values as unsigned. Returns: Since:

Returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bytes in the two's complement representation of the specified short value. Returns: Since:

Converts the argument to an int by an unsigned conversion. In an unsigned conversion to an int, the high-order 16 bits of the int are zero and the low-order 16 bits are equal to the bits of the short argument. Consequently, zero and positive short values are mapped to a numerically equal int value and negative short values are mapped to an int value equal to the input plus 2¹⁶. Returns: Since:

Converts the argument to a long by an unsigned conversion. In an unsigned conversion to a long, the high-order 48 bits of the long are zero and the low-order 16 bits are equal to the bits of the short argument. Consequently, zero and positive short values are mapped to a numerically equal long value and negative short values are mapped to a long value equal to the input plus 2¹⁶. Returns: Since:
