Convert a String to a short number in Java

Use the Short.parseShort() method in Java to convert a String to a short.

Let’s say the following is our string.

String str = “76”;

Now, the parseShort() method will convert the string to short.

byte val = Byte.parseByte(str);

Example

 Live Demo

public class Demo {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
       String str = "76";
       short val = Short.parseShort(str);
       System.out.println(val);
    }
}

Output

76
