Returns:int

the value 0 if x == y; a value less than 0 if x < y; and a value greater than 0 if x > y

Implements java.lang.Comparable.compareTo.

Compares two Short objects numerically.

Parameters

anotherShort:Short

the Short to be compared.

Returns:int

the value 0 if this Short is equal to the argument Short; a value less than 0 if this Short is numerically less than the argument Short; and a value greater than 0 if this Short is numerically greater than the argument Short (signed comparison).

Since

Compares two short values numerically treating the values as unsigned.

Parameters

x:short

the first short to compare

y:short

the second short to compare

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:

-

+

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.

Parameters

nm:String

the String to decode.

Returns:Short

a Short object holding the short value represented by nm

Exceptions

NumberFormatException:

if the String does not contain a parsable short.

Doc from java.lang.Number.longValue.

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

Java Language Specification

5.1.2 Widening Primitive Conversion

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 java.lang.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 java.lang.Character#MIN_RADIX or larger than java.lang.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.

Parameters

s:String

the String containing the short representation to be parsed

radix:int

the radix to be used while parsing s

Returns:short

the short represented by the string argument in the specified radix.

Exceptions

NumberFormatException:

If the String does not contain a parsable short.

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.

Parameters

s:String

a String containing the short representation to be parsed

Returns:short

the short value represented by the argument in decimal.

Exceptions

NumberFormatException:

If the string does not contain a parsable short.

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

Parameters

i:short

the value whose bytes are to be reversed

Returns:short

the value obtained by reversing (or, equivalently, swapping) the bytes in the specified short value.

Returns the value of this Short as a short.

Returns:short

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

Parameters

s:short

the short to be converted

Returns:String

the string representation of the specified short

See Also

java.lang.Integer#toString(int)

Overrides java.lang.Object.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 java.lang.Short#toString(short) method.

Returns:String

a string representation of the value of this object in base 10.

Annotations

@Override

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.

Parameters

x:short

the value to convert to an unsigned int

Returns:int

the argument converted to int by an unsigned conversion

Since

1.8

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.

Parameters

x:short

the value to convert to an unsigned long

Returns:long

the argument converted to long by an unsigned conversion

Since

1.8

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:

Short.valueOf(Short.parseShort(s, radix))

Parameters

s:String

the string to be parsed

radix:int

the radix to be used in interpreting s

Returns:Short

a Short object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.

Exceptions

NumberFormatException:

If the String does not contain a parsable short.

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:

Short.valueOf(Short.parseShort(s))

Parameters

s:String

the string to be parsed

Returns:Short

a Short object holding the value represented by the string argument

Exceptions

NumberFormatException:

If the String does not contain a parsable short.

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.

Parameters

s:short

a short value.

Returns:Short

a Short instance representing s.
