Field Detail

MIN_VALUE

public static final short MIN_VALUE
The minimum value a Short can have.

MAX_VALUE

public static final short MAX_VALUE
The maximum value a Short can have.

TYPE

public static final Class TYPE
The Class object representing the primitive type short.
Constructor Detail

Short

public Short(short value)
Constructs a Short object initialized to the specified short value.
Parameters:
value - the initial value of the Short

Short

public Short(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Constructs a Short object initialized to the value specified by the String parameter. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the String to be converted to a Short
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.
Method Detail

toString

public static String toString(short s)
Returns a new String object representing the specified Short. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the short to be converted

parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the short
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the string does not contain a parsable short.

parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s,
                               int radix) throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the short
radix - the radix to be used
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

valueOf

public static Short valueOf(String s,
                            int radix) throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns a new Short object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the integer
radix - the radix to be used
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

valueOf

public static Short valueOf(String s) throws NumberFormatException
Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns a new Short object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short.
Parameters:
s - the String containing the integer
Throws:
NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

decode

public static Short decode(String nm) throws NumberFormatException
Decodes a String into a Short. The String may represent decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers.
Parameters:
nm - the string to decode

byteValue

public byte byteValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a byte.
Overrides:
byteValue in class Number

shortValue

public short shortValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a short.
Overrides:
shortValue in class Number

intValue

public int intValue()
Returns the value of this Short as an int.
Overrides:
intValue in class Number

longValue

public long longValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a long.
Overrides:
longValue in class Number

floatValue

public float floatValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a float.
Overrides:
floatValue in class Number

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a double.
Overrides:
doubleValue in class Number

toString

public String toString()
Returns a String object representing this Short's value.
Overrides:
toString in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()
Returns a hashcode for this Short.
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this object to the specified object.
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with
Returns:
true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
Overrides:
equals in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(Short anotherShort)
Compares two Shorts numerically.
Implements:
compareTo in interface Comparable
Parameters:
anotherShort - the Short to be compared.
Returns:
the value 0 if the argument Short is equal to this Short; a value less than 0 if this Short is numerically less than the Short argument; and a value greater than 0 if this Short is numerically greater than the Short argument (signed comparison).

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)
Compares this Short to another Object. If the Object is a Short, this function behaves like compareTo(Short). Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException (as Shorts are comparable only to other Shorts).
Implements:
compareTo in interface Comparable
Parameters:
o - the Object to be compared.
Returns:
the value 0 if the argument is a Short numerically equal to this Short; a value less than 0 if the argument is a Short numerically greater than this Short; and a value greater than 0 if the argument is a Short numerically less than this Short.
Throws:
ClassCastException - if the argument is not a Short.
