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";
