The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Short.equals() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class ShortDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create short object and assign value to it
      short shortNum1 = 200, shortNum2 = 200, shortNum3 = 50;
      Short ShortObj1 = new Short(shortNum1);
      Short ShortObj2 = new Short(shortNum2);
      Short ShortObj3 = new Short(shortNum3);

      // returs false as both object contains different short value
      boolean val = ShortObj1.equals(ShortObj3); 
      System.out.println("shortObj1 and shortObj3 have same value : " + val);

      // returns true as both object contains same short value
      val = ShortObj1.equals(ShortObj2); 
      System.out.println("shortObj1 and shortObj2 have same value : " + val);
   }
}  

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
