// 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);
    }
}
