The compareTo() method of java.nio.ShortBuffer class is used to compare one buffer to another. Two short buffers are compared by comparing their sequences of remaining elements lexicographically, without regard to the starting position of each sequence within its corresponding buffer. Pairs of short elements are compared as if by invoking Short.compare(short, short). A short buffer is not comparable to any other type of object. Syntax:
public int compareTo(ShortBuffer that)
Parameter: This method takes a shortbuffer object as a parameter with which this buffer will be compared. Return Value: This method returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer as this buffer is less than, equal to, or greater than the given buffer. Below are the examples to illustrate the compareTo() method: Program 1: When both FloatBuffer are equal.

Output:

Program 2: When this ShortBuffer is greater than the passed ShortBuffer

Output:
