Java Guava | Shorts.asList() method with Examples

The Shorts.asList() method of Guava’s Shorts Class accepts a short array as a parameter and returns a list which has the fixed size. The returned list is backed by the short array which is passed as the argument. It means the changes made in the array passed as parameter will be reflected back in the list returned by the method and vice-versa.

Syntax:

public static List<Short> asList(short… backingArray)

Parameter: The method accepts a mandatory parameter backingArray which is a short array that is used to back the list.

Return Value: The method Shorts.asList() returns a fixed-size list which is backed by the array passed as the argument to the method. In other words, the method returns the list view of the array.

Below examples illustrate the implementation of above method:

Example 1:




// Java code to show implementation of
// Guava's Shorts.asList() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
import java.util.List;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Driver's code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Creating a Short array
        short arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
  
        // Using Shorts.asList() method to wrap
        // the specified primitive Short array
        // as a List of the Short type
        List<Short> myList = Shorts.asList(arr);
  
        // Displaying the elements in List
        System.out.println(myList);
    }
}


Output:

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Example 2:




// Java code to show implementation of
// Guava's Shorts.asList() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
import java.util.List;
  
class GFG {
  
    // Driver's code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Creating a Short array
        short arr[] = { 3, 5, 7 };
  
        // Using Shorts.asList() method to wrap
        // the specified primitive Short array
        // as a List of the Short type
        List<Short> myList = Shorts.asList(arr);
  
        // Displaying the elements in List
        System.out.println(myList);
    }
}


Output:

[3, 5, 7]
