Java.lang.Short Class
Advertisements
Introduction
The java.lang.Short class wraps a value of primitive type short in an object. An object of type Short contains a single field whose type is short.
Class declaration
Following is the declaration for java.lang.Short class:
public final class Short
extends Number
implements Comparable<Short>
Field
Following are the fields for java.lang.Short class:
static short MAX_VALUE -- This is the constant holding the maximum value a short can have, 215-1.
static short MIN_VALUE -- This is the constant holding the minimum value a short can have, -215.
static int SIZE -- This is the number of bits used to represent a short value in two's complement binary form.
static Class<Short> TYPE -- This is the Class instance representing the primitive type short.
Class constructors
| S.N. | Constructor & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Short(short value) This constructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the specified short value. |
| 2 | Short(String s) This constructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the short value indicated by the String parameter. |
Class methods
| S.N. | Method & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | byte byteValue() This method returns the value of this Short as a byte. |
| 2 | int compareTo(Short anotherShort) This method compares two Short objects numerically. |
| 3 | static Short decode(String nm) This method decodes a String into a Short. |
| 4 | double doubleValue() This method returns the value of this Short as a double. |
| 5 | boolean equals(Object obj) This method compares this object to the specified object. |
| 6 | float floatValue() This method returns the value of this Short as a float. |
| 7 | int hashCode() This method returns a hash code for this Short. |
| 8 | int intValue() This method returns the value of this Short as an int. |
| 9 | long longValue() This method returns the value of this Short as a long. |
| 10 | static short parseShort(String s) This method parses the string argument as a signed decimal short. |
| 11 | static short parseShort(String s, int radix) This method parses the string argument as a signed short in the radix specified by the second argument. |
| 12 | static short reverseBytes(short i) This method returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bytes in the two's complement representation of the specified short value. |
| 13 | short shortValue() This method returns the value of this Short as a short. |
| 14 | String toString() This method returns a String object representing this Short's value. |
| 15 | static String toString(short s) This method returns a new String object representing the specified short. |
| 16 | static Short valueOf(short s) This method returns a Short instance representing the specified short value. |
| 17 | static Short valueOf(String s) This method returns a Short instance representing the specified short value. |
| 18 | static Short valueOf(String s, int radix) This method returns a Short object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument. |
