Example

The following example shows the usage of lang.Byte.shortValue() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class ByteDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create 2 Byte objects b1, b2
      Byte b1, b2;

      // create 2 short primitives s1, s2
      short s1, s2;

      // assign values to b1, b2
      b1 = new Byte("10");
      b2 = new Byte("-10");

      // assign short values of b1, b2 to s1, s2
      s1 = b1.shortValue();
      s2 = b2.shortValue();

      String str1 = "short value of Byte " + b1 + " is " + s1;
      String str2 = "short value of Byte " + b2 + " is " + s2;

      // print s1, s2 values
      System.out.println( str1 );
      System.out.println( str2 );
   }
}

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

short value of Byte 10 is 10
short value of Byte -10 is -10
