Short byteValue() method in Java with Example

The java.lang.Short.byteValue() method of Short class is a built in method in Java which is used to return the value of the Short object as a byte.

Syntax

ShortObject.byteValue()

Return Value: It return the value of ShortObject as byte.

Below is the implementation of byteValue() method in Java:

Example 1:

// Java code to demonstrate
// Short byteValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Short value
        Short a = 17;

        // wrapping the Short value
        // in the wrapper class Short
        Short b = new Short(a);

        // byteValue of the Short Object
        byte output = b.byteValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Byte value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Byte value of 17 is : 17

Example 2:

// Java code to demonstrate
// Short byteValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String value = "17";

        // wrapping the Short value
        // in the wrapper class Short
        Short b = new Short(value);

        // byteValue of the Short Object
        byte output = b.byteValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Byte value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}

Output:

Byte value of 17 is : 17
