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
