public class Short
extends Object

The Short class wraps a value of the 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 an short to a String and a String to an short, as well as other constants and methods useful when dealing with an short.

Since:
MDK1.0a

Field Summary
static int MAX_VALUE
          The largest value of type short.
static int MIN_VALUE
          The smallest value of type short.
 
Constructor Summary
Short(short value)
          Constructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the primitive short argument.
Short(String s)
          Constructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the value represented by the string.
 
Method Summary
 byte byteValue()
          Returns the value of this Short as a byte.
 double doubleValue()
          Returns the value of this Short as a double.
 boolean equals(Object obj)
          Compares this object to the specified object.
 int intValue()

Constructor Detail

Short

public Short(short value)
Constructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the primitive short argument.

Parameters:
value - the value to be represented by the Short.

Short

public Short(String s)
Constructs a newly allocated Short object that represents the value represented by the string. The string is converted to an short in exactly the manner used by the parseShort method.

Parameters:
s - the String to be converted to an Short.
Method Detail

toString

public String toString()
Returns a String object representing this Short's value. The value is converted to signed decimal representation and returned as a string, exactly as if the short value were given as an argument to the valueOf method of String.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a string representation of the value of this object.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this object to the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is an Short object that contains the same short value as this object.

Overrides:
equals in class Object
Parameters:
obj - the object to compare with.
Returns:
true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

shortValue

public short shortValue()
Returns the value of this Short as an short.


parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s)
Parses the string argument as a signed decimal integer. The characters in the string must all be decimal digits, except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value. The resulting short value is returned. The string argument is finalized before the method returns.

Parameters:
s - a String containing the short representation to be parsed
Returns:
the short value represented by the argument in decimal.

intValue

public int intValue()
Returns the value of this Short as an int. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:
the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type int.

longValue

public long longValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a long. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:
the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a double. This may involve rounding.

Returns:
the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type double.

byteValue

public byte byteValue()
Returns the value of this Short as a byte. This may involve rounding or truncation.

Returns:
the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type byte.

isShort

public static boolean isShort(String str)
Checks if the specified string is a decimal representation of a short integer.

Parameters:
str - The string to verify
Returns:
true if the specified string is a decimal representation of a short integer, false otherwize.
