Java - Byte Class shortValue() Method

Short class shortValue() method: Here, we are going to learn about the shortValue() method of Short class with its syntax and example. By Preeti Jain Last updated : March 18, 2024

Short class shortValue() method

shortValue() method is available in java.lang package.
shortValue() method is used to return the value denoted by this Byte object converted to type short (by casting).
shortValue() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
shortValue() method does not throw an exception at the time of conversion from byte to short.

Syntax

public short shortValue();

Parameters

It does not accept any parameter.

Return Value

The return type of this method is short, it returns a converted (from type byte to short) value represented by this Byte object.

Example

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of shortValue() method of Byte class

public class ShortValueOfByteClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Variables initialization
        byte b1 = 10;
        byte b2 = 20;

        // It returns byte value denoted by this Byte value1 object
        // and converted to a short by calling value1.shortValue()
        Byte value1 = new Byte(b1);

        // Display value1 result
        System.out.println("value1.shortValue(): " + value1.shortValue());

        // It returns byte value denoted by this Byte value2 object
        // and converted to a short by calling value2.shortValue()
        Byte value2 = new Byte(b2);

        // Display value2 result
        System.out.println("value2.shortValue(): " + value2.shortValue());
    }
}

Output

value1.shortValue(): 10
value2.shortValue(): 20
