Java - Integer Class shortValue() Method

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

Integer class shortValue() method

• shortValue() method is available in java.lang package.
• shortValue() method is used to return the value denoted by this Integer 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 double 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 integer to short) value represented by this Integer object.

Example

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

public class ShortValueOfIntegerClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Variables initialization
        int i1 = 10;
        int i2 = 20;

        // It returns integer value denoted by this Integer value1 object
        // and converted to a short by calling value1.shortValue()
        Integer value1 = new Integer(i1);

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

        // It returns integer value denoted by this Integer value2 object
        // and converted to a short by calling value2.shortValue()
        Integer value2 = new Integer(i2);

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

Output

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