Below programs illustrate the Number.shortValue() method:

Program 1:

// java program that demonstrates 
// Number.shortValue() method 
public class gfg { 
  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // get a number as float 
        Float x = new Float(7854123456f); 
        // print the value as short 
        System.out.println(x.shortValue()); 
  
        // get a number as double 
        Double y = new Double(98774856); 
        // print the value as short 
        System.out.println(y.shortValue()); 
    } 
} 

Output:

12104

Program 2:

// java program that demonstrates 
// Number.shortValue() method 
  
public class gfg { 
  
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
  
        // get a number as float 
        Float x = new Float(78f); 
        // print the value as short 
        System.out.println(x.shortValue()); 
  
        // get a number as double 
        Double y = new Double(56.23); 
        // print the value as short
