C# Int16.ToString() Method

The Int16.ToString() method in C# is used to convert the numeric value of this instance to its equivalent string representation.

Syntax

The syntax is as follows −

public override string ToString ();
public string ToString (string format);

Above, the format parameter is a numeric format string.

Example

Let us now see an example −

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      short val1 = 10;
      short val2 = 10;
      Console.WriteLine("Value1 = "+val1.ToString());
      Console.WriteLine("Value2 = "+val2.ToString());
      Console.WriteLine("HashCode for value1 = "+val1.GetHashCode());
      Console.WriteLine("HashCode for value2 = "+val2.GetHashCode());
      Console.WriteLine("Are they equal? = "+(val1.Equals(val2)));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Value1 = 10
Value2 = 10
HashCode for value1 = 655370
HashCode for value2 = 655370
Are they equal? = True

Example

Let us now see another example −

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      short val1 = 20;
      short val2 = 18;
      Console.WriteLine("Value 1 = "+val1.ToString("F1"));
      Console.WriteLine("Value 2 = "+val2.ToString("000000.0000"));
      Console.WriteLine("Return value (comparison) = "+val1.CompareTo(val2));
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following output −

Value 1 = 20.0
Value 2 = 000018.0000
Return value (comparison) = 2
