Short

• java.lang.Object
  • java.lang.Number

Fields Summary
private static final long	serialVersionUID
private final short	value The value which the receiver represents.
public static final short	MAX_VALUE Constant for the maximum {@code short} value, 215-1.
public static final short	MIN_VALUE Constant for the minimum {@code short} value, -215.
public static final int	SIZE Constant for the number of bits needed to represent a {@code short} in two's complement form.
public static final Class	TYPE The {@link Class} object that represents the primitive type {@code short}.

Constructors Summary
public Short(String string) Constructs a new {@code Short} from the specified string. param string the string representation of a short value. throws NumberFormatException if {@code string} can not be decoded into a short value. see #parseShort(String) since Android 1.0 // Note: This can't be set to "short.class", since *that* is // defined to be "java.lang.Short.TYPE"; this(parseShort(string));
public Short(short value) Constructs a new {@code Short} with the specified primitive short value. param value the primitive short value to store in the new instance. since Android 1.0 this.value = value;

Methods Summary
public byte	byteValue() return (byte) value;
public int	compareTo(java.lang.Short object) Compares this object to the specified short object to determine their relative order. param object the short object to compare this object to. return a negative value if the value of this short is less than the value of {@code object}; 0 if the value of this short and the value of {@code object} are equal; a positive value if the value of this short is greater than the value of {@code object}. see java.lang.Comparable since Android 1.0 return value > object.value ? 1 : (value < object.value ? -1 : 0);
public static java.lang.Short	decode(java.lang.String string) Parses the specified string and returns a {@code Short} instance if the string can be decoded into a short value. The string may be an optional minus sign "-" followed by a hexadecimal ("0x..." or "#..."), octal ("0..."), or decimal ("...") representation of a short. param string a string representation of a short value. return a {@code Short} containing the value represented by {@code string}. throws NumberFormatException if {@code string} can not be parsed as a short value. since Android 1.0 int intValue = Integer.decode(string).intValue(); short result = (short) intValue; if (result == intValue) { return valueOf(result); } throw new NumberFormatException();
public double	doubleValue() return value;
public boolean	equals(java.lang.Object object) Compares this instance with the specified object and indicates if they are equal. In order to be equal, {@code object} must be an instance of {@code Short} and have the same short value as this object. param object the object to compare this short with. return {@code true} if the specified object is equal to this {@code Short}; {@code false} otherwise. since Android 1.0 return (object instanceof Short) && (value == ((Short) object).value);
public float	floatValue() return value;
public int	hashCode() return value;
public int	intValue() return value;
public long	longValue() return value;
public static short	parseShort(java.lang.String string) Parses the specified string as a signed decimal short value. The ASCII character \u002d ('-') is recognized as the minus sign. param string the string representation of a short value. return the primitive short value represented by {@code string}. throws NumberFormatException if {@code string} is {@code null}, has a length of zero or can not be parsed as a short value. since Android 1.0 return parseShort(string, 10);
public static short	parseShort(java.lang.String string, int radix) Parses the specified string as a signed short value using the specified radix. The ASCII character \u002d ('-') is recognized as the minus sign. param string the string representation of a short value. param radix the radix to use when parsing. return the primitive short value represented by {@code string} using {@code radix}. throws NumberFormatException if {@code string} is {@code null} or has a length of zero, {@code radix < Character.MIN_RADIX}, {@code radix > Character.MAX_RADIX}, or if {@code string} can not be parsed as a short value. since Android 1.0 int intValue = Integer.parseInt(string, radix); short result = (short) intValue; if (result == intValue) { return result; } throw new NumberFormatException();
public static short	reverseBytes(short s) Reverses the bytes of the specified short. param s the short value for which to reverse bytes. return the reversed value. since Android 1.0 int high = (s >> 8) & 0xFF; int low = (s & 0xFF) << 8; return (short) (low | high);
public short	shortValue() Gets the primitive value of this short. return this object's primitive value. since Android 1.0 return value;
public java.lang.String	toString() return Integer.toString(value);
public static java.lang.String	toString(short value) Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of the specified short value with radix 10. param value the short to convert to a string. return a printable representation of {@code value}. since Android 1.0 return Integer.toString(value);
public static java.lang.Short	valueOf(java.lang.String string) Parses the specified string as a signed decimal short value. param string the string representation of a short value. return a {@code Short} instance containing the short value represented by {@code string}. throws NumberFormatException if {@code string} is {@code null}, has a length of zero or can not be parsed as a short value. see #parseShort(String) since Android 1.0 return valueOf(parseShort(string));
public static java.lang.Short	valueOf(java.lang.String string, int radix) Parses the specified string as a signed short value using the specified radix. param string the string representation of a short value. param radix the radix to use when parsing. return a {@code Short} instance containing the short value represented by {@code string} using {@code radix}. throws NumberFormatException if {@code string} is {@code null} or has a length of zero, {@code radix < Character.MIN_RADIX}, {@code radix > Character.MAX_RADIX}, or if {@code string} can not be parsed as a short value. see #parseShort(String, int) since Android 1.0 return valueOf(parseShort(string, radix));
public static java.lang.Short	valueOf(short s) Returns a {@code Short} instance for the specified short value. If it is not necessary to get a new {@code Short} instance, it is recommended to use this method instead of the constructor, since it maintains a cache of instances which may result in better performance. param s the short value to store in the instance. return a {@code Short} instance containing {@code s}. since Android 1.0 if (s < -128 || s > 127) { return new Short(s); } return valueOfCache.CACHE[s+128];
