The shortValue() is an inbuilt method of the Short class in Java and is used to return the Short value of this value.
Syntax:
public short shortValue()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameter.
Return Value: The method returns the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type short.
Below programs illustrate the Short.shortValue() method:
Program 1:
// Java program that demonstrates// Short.shortValue() method import java.lang.*; public class Geeks { public static void main(String[] args) { short svalue = 21; Short sh_obj = new Short(svalue); // It will return the short value of Short short sh_Value = sh_obj.shortValue(); // Printing short value System.out.println("The short value of the given Short is = " + sh_Value); }} |
Output:
The short value of the given Short is = 21
Program 2:
// java program that demonstrates// Short.shortValue() method import java.lang.*; public class Geeks { public static void main(String[] args) { short svalue = -19; Short sh_obj = new Short(svalue); // It will return the short value of Short short sh_Value = sh_obj.shortValue(); // Printing short value System.out.println("The short value of the given Short is = " + sh_Value); }} |
Output:
The short value of the given Short is = -19
Program 3:
Note: It returns an error message when a decimal value and string is passed as an argument.
// Java program that demonstrates// Short.shortValue() method import java.lang.*; public class Geeks { public static void main(String[] args) { short svalue = 9.6; Short sh_obj = new Short(svalue); // It will return the short value of Short short sh_Value = sh_obj.shortValue(); // Printing short value System.out.println("The short value of the given Short is = " + sh_Value); short svalue2 = "61"; Short sh_obj2 = new Short(svalue2); // It will return the short value of Short short sh_Value2 = sh_obj2.shortValue(); // Printing short value System.out.println("The short value of the given Short is = " + sh_Value2); }} |
Output:
prog.java:10: error: incompatible types: possible lossy conversion from double to short
short svalue = 9.6;
^
prog.java:18: error: incompatible types: String cannot be converted to short
short svalue2 = "61";
^
