Java.lang.Short Class
Java Short Class
The Short class in the Java.lang , i.e Java.lang.Short package encapsulates a primitive type short value in an object. A single field of type short is included in a Short object.
This class also has methods for converting a short to a String and a String to a short, as well as additional constants and methods that are handy when working with shorts.
Class declaration
The declaration of java.lang.Short class is:
public final class Short extends Number implements Comparable<Short>
Fields
| S.N | Fields & Description |
|---|---|
| 1. | static int BYTES The number of bytes used to represent a short value in two’s complement binary form. |
| 2. | static short MAX_VALUE A constant holding the maximum value a short can have, 215-1. |
| 3. | static short MIN_VALUE A constant holding the minimum value a short can have, -215. |
| 4. | static int SIZE The number of bits used to represent a short value in two’s complement binary form. |
| 5. | static Class<Short> TYPE The Class instance representing the primitive type short. |
Java.lang.Short Methods
The java.lang.Short class has a number of methods which are listed below:
Member Methods
| S.N | Methods & Description |
|---|---|

| 8. | int hashCode() Returns a hash code for this Short; equal to the result of invoking intValue(). |
| 9. | static int hashCode(short value) Returns a hash code for a short value; compatible with Short.hashCode(). |
| 10. | int intValue() Returns the value of this Short as an int after a widening primitive conversion. |
| 11. | long longValue() Returns the value of this Short as a long after a widening primitive conversion. |
| 12. | static short parseShort(String s) Parses the string argument as a signed decimal short. |
| 13. | static short parseShort(String s, int radix) Parses the string argument as a signed short in the radix specified by the second argument. short value. |
| 14. | 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 Returns the value of this Short as a short. |
| 15. | short shortValue() Returns the value of this Short as a short. |
| 16. | String toString() Returns a String object representing this Short’s value. |
| 17. | static String toString(short s) Returns a new String object representing the specified short. |
| 18. | static int toUnsignedInt(short x) Converts the argument to an int by an unsigned conversion. |
| 19. | static long toUnsignedLong(short x) Converts the argument to a long by an unsigned conversion. |
| 20. | static Short valueOf(short s) Returns a Short instance representing the specified short value. |
| 21. | static Short valueOf(String s) Returns a Short object holding the value given by the specified String. |
| 22. | static Short valueOf(String s, int radix) Returns a Short object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument. |
