public final class Short extends Number implements Comparable<Short>
TheShort
class wraps a value of primitive typeshort
in an object. An object of typeShort
contains a single field whose type isshort
.In addition, this class provides several methods for converting a
short
to aString
and aString
to ashort
, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with ashort

value indicated by theString
parameter. The string is converted to ashort
value in exactly the manner used by theparseShort
method for radix 10.- Parameters:

parseShort
public static short parseShort(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException
Parses the string argument as a signedshort
in the radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the string must all be digits, of the specified radix (as determined by whetherCharacter.digit(char, int)
returns a nonnegative value) except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign'-'
('\u002D'
) to indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign'+'
('\u002B'
) to indicate a positive value. The resultingshort
value is returned.An exception of type
NumberFormatException
is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:- The first argument is
null
or is a string of length zero. - The radix is either smaller than
Character.MIN_RADIX
or larger thanCharacter.MAX_RADIX
. - Any character of the string is not a digit of the
specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus
sign
'-'
('\u002D'
) or plus sign'+'
('\u002B'
) provided that the string is longer than length 1. - The value represented by the string is not a value of type
short
.
- Parameters:
s
- theString
containing theshort
representation to be parsedradix
- the radix to be used while parsings
- Returns:
- the
short
represented by the string argument in the specified radix. - Throws:
NumberFormatException
- If theString

.
- The first argument is
-
parseShort
public static short parseShort(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Parses the string argument as a signed decimalshort
. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits, except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign'-'
('\u002D'
) to indicate a negative value or an ASCII plus sign'+'
('\u002B'
) to indicate a positive value. The resultingshort
value is returned, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were given as arguments to theparseShort(java.lang.String, int)
method.- Parameters:
s
- aString
containing theshort
representation to be parsed- Returns:
- the
short
value represented by the argument in decimal. - Throws:
NumberFormatException
- If the string does not contain a parsableshort
.
-
valueOf
public static Short valueOf(String s, int radix) throws NumberFormatException
Returns aShort
object holding the value extracted from the specifiedString
when parsed with the radix given by the second argument. The first argument is interpreted as representing a signedshort
in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the argument were given to theparseShort(java.lang.String, int)
method. The result is aShort
object that represents theshort
value specified by the string.In other words, this method returns a
Short
object equal to the value of:new Short(Short.parseShort(s, radix))
- Parameters:
s
- the string to be parsedradix
- the radix to be used in interpretings
- Returns:
- a
Short
object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix. - Throws:
NumberFormatException
- If theString
does not contain a parsableshort
.
-
valueOf
public static Short valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Returns aShort
object holding the value given by the specifiedString
. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimalshort
, exactly as if the argument were given to theparseShort(java.lang.String)
method. The result is aShort
object that represents theshort
value specified by the string.In other words, this method returns a
Short
object equal to the value of:new Short(Short.parseShort(s))
- Parameters:
s
- the string to be parsed- Returns:
- a
Short
object holding the value represented by the string argument - Throws:
NumberFormatException
- If theString
does not contain a parsableshort
.
-
valueOf
public static Short valueOf(short s)
Returns aShort
instance representing the specifiedshort
value. If a newShort
instance is not required, this method should generally be used in preference to the constructorShort(short)
, as this method is likely to yield significantly better space and time performance by caching frequently requested values. This method will always cache values in the range -128 to 127, inclusive, and may cache other values outside of this range.- Parameters:
s
- a short value.- Returns:
- a
Short
instance representings
. - Since:
- 1.5
-
decode
public static Short decode(String nm) throws NumberFormatException
Decodes aString
into aShort
. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:- DecodableString:
- Signopt DecimalNumeral
- Signopt
0x
HexDigits - Signopt
0X
HexDigits - Signopt
#
HexDigits - Signopt
0
OctalDigits - Sign:
-
+
The sequence of characters following an optional sign and/or radix specifier ("
0x
", "0X
", "#
", or leading zero) is parsed as by theShort.parseShort
method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or 8). This sequence of characters must represent a positive value or aNumberFormatException
will be thrown. The result is negated if first character of the specifiedString
is the minus sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in theString
.- Parameters:
nm
- theString
to decode.- Returns:
- a

in interfaceComparable<Short>
- Parameters:
anotherShort
- theShort
to be compared.- Returns:
- the value
0
if thisShort
is equal to the argumentShort
; a value less than0
if thisShort
is numerically less than the argumentShort
; and a value greater than0
if thisShort

compare
public static int compare(short x, short y)
