Java.lang.Short Class
Java Short Class
Java.lang package provides a Short class which wraps a value of primitive type short in an object. An object of type Short contains a single field whose type is short.
In addition, this class provides several methods for converting a short to a String and a String to a short, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with a short.
Class declaration
The declaration of java.lang.Short class is:
public final class Short
extends Number
implements Comparable<Short>
Fields
| S.N | Fields & Description |
|---|---|
| 1. |
static int BYTES The number of bytes used to represent a short value in two's complement binary form. |
| 2. |
static short MAX_VALUE A constant holding the maximum value a short can have, 215-1. |
| 3. |
static short MIN_VALUE A constant holding the minimum value a short can have, -215. |
| 4. |
static int SIZE The number of bits used to represent a short value in two's complement binary form. |
| 5. |
static Class<Short> TYPE The Class instance representing the primitive type short. |
java.lang.Short Methods
