Java Short - toUnsignedInt() Method

The java.lang.Short.toUnsignedInt() method is used to convert the argument to an int by an unsigned conversion. In an unsigned conversion to an int, the high-order 16 bits of the int are zero and the low-order 16 bits are equal to the bits of the short argument. Consequently, zero and positive short values are mapped to a numerically equal int value and negative short values are mapped to an int value equal to the input plus 2¹⁶.

Syntax

public static int toUnsignedInt(short x)

Parameters

Return Value

Returns the argument converted to int by an unsigned conversion

Exception

NA.

Example:

In the example below, the java.lang.Short.toUnsignedInt() method is used to convert the given short value to an int by an unsigned conversion.

import java.lang.*;

public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] args) {

    //creating short values
    short x = 25;
    short y = -25;

    //printing UnsignedInt value of short values
    System.out.println("UnsignedInt value of x is: " + Short.toUnsignedInt(x)); 
    System.out.println("UnsignedInt value of y is: " + Short.toUnsignedInt(y));  
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

UnsignedInt value of x is: 25
UnsignedInt value of y is: 65511
