Java - Byte shortValue() method

---

---

Description

The Java Byte shortValue() returns the value of this Byte as a short.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.Byte.shortValue() method

public short shortValue()

Specified by

shortValue in class Number

Parameters

NA

Return Value

This method returns the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type short.

Exception

NA

Example 1

The following example shows the usage of Byte shortValue() method with Byte object created using new operator. We're creating a Byte variable and assigned it an Byte object created using new operator. Then a short variable is created and assigned a short value using shortValue() method and then result is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;
public class ByteDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a Byte object b
      Byte b;

      // assign value to b
      b = new Byte("100");

      // create a short primitive d
      short d;

      // assign primitive value of b to d
      d = b.shortValue();

      String str = "Primitive short value of Byte object " + b + " is " + d;

      // print d value
      System.out.println( str );
   }
}

Output

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

Primitive short value of Byte object 100 is 100

Example 2

The following example shows the usage of Byte shortValue() method with Byte object created using valueOf(String) method. We're creating a Byte variable and assigned it an Byte object created using valueOf(String) method. Then a short variable is created and assigned a short value using shortValue() method and then result is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;
public class ByteDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a Byte object b
      Byte b;

      // assign value to b
      b = Byte.valueOf("100");

      // create a short primitive d
      short d;

      // assign primitive value of b to d
      d = b.shortValue();

      String str = "Primitive short value of Byte object " + b + " is " + d;

      // print d value
      System.out.println( str );
   }
}

Output

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

Primitive short value of Byte object 100 is 100

Example 3

The following example shows the usage of Byte shortValue() method with Byte object created using valueOf(byte) method. We're creating a Byte variable and assigned it an Byte object created using valueOf(byte) method. Then a short variable is created and assigned a short value using shortValue() method and then result is printed.

package com.tutorialspoint;
public class ByteDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a Byte object b
      Byte b;

      // assign value to b
      b = Byte.valueOf((byte) 100);

      // create a short primitive d
      short d;

      // assign primitive value of b to d
      d = b.shortValue();

      String str = "Primitive byte value of Byte object " + b + " is " + d;

      // print d value
      System.out.println( str );
   }
}

Output

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

Primitive byte value of Byte object 100 is 100
