Short class byteValue() method

byteValue() method is available in java.lang package.
byteValue() method is used to return the value denoted by this Short object converted to type byte (by casting).
byteValue() 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.
byteValue() method does not throw an exception at the time of conversion from Short to byte.

Syntax

public byte byteValue();

Parameters

It does not accept any parameter.

Return Value

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

Example

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of byteValue() method of Short class

public class ByteValueOfShortClass {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Variables initialization
        short s1 = 100;
        short s2 = 200;

        // It returns short value denoted by this Short ob1 object
        // and converted to a byte by calling ob1.byteValue()
        Short ob1 = new Short(s1);

        // Display ob1 result
        System.out.println("ob1.byteValue(): " + ob1.byteValue());

        // It returns short value denoted by this Short ob2 object
        // and converted to a byte by calling ob2.byteValue()
        Short ob2 = new Short(s2);

        // Display ob2 result
        System.out.println("ob2.byteValue(): " + ob2.byteValue());
    }
}

Output

ob1.byteValue(): 100
ob2.byteValue(): -56
