The Integer.shortValue() is an inbuilt method of java.lang which returns the value of this Integer in the short type .
Syntax:
public short shortValue()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameters.
Return Value: The method returns the integer value represented by this object after converting it to type short.
Below programs illustrate the Integer.shortValue() method:
Program 1: For positive integers.
// Java program that demonstrates // Integer.shortValue() method import java.lang.*;
public class Geeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Integer sh_object = new Integer( 763 );
// It will return the value of this Integer as a short type
short sh_value = sh_object.shortValue();
System.out.println( " The Value of sh_value = " + sh_value);
}
} |
Output:
The Value of sh_value = 763
Program 2: For negative number.
// Java program that demonstrates // Integer.shortValue() method import java.lang.*;
public class Geeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Integer sh_object = new Integer(- 43 );
// It will return the value of this Integer as a short type
short sh_value = sh_object.shortValue();
System.out.println( " The Value of sh_value = " + sh_value);
}
} |
Output:
The Value of sh_value = -43
Program 3: For a decimal value and string.
Note: It returns an error message when a decimal value and string is passed as an argument.
// java program that demonstrates // Integer.shortValue() method import java.lang.*;
public class Geeks {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// passing a decimal value
Integer sh_object = new Integer( 27.51 );
short sh_value = sh_object.shortValue();
System.out.println( " The Value of sh_value = " + sh_value);
// passing a string
Integer sh_object2 = new Integer( "51" );
short sh_value2 = sh_object2.shortValue();
System.out.println( " The Value of sh_value2 = " + sh_value2);
}
} |
Output:
prog.java:10: error: no suitable constructor found for Integer(double) Integer sh_object = new Integer(27.51); ^ constructor Integer.Integer(int) is not applicable (argument mismatch; possible lossy conversion from double to int) constructor Integer.Integer(String) is not applicable (argument mismatch; double cannot be converted to String) 1 error
