Example

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

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class ShortDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

     // assign value to short
     short shortNum = 50;

     /* returns the value after reversing the order of the bytes
     in the binary representation of the specified short value. */
     short shortValue = Short.reverseBytes(shortNum); 
    
     // displaying the reversed value
     System.out.println("The reversed value is = " + shortValue);
  }
}  

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

The reversed value is = 12800
