Java Integer.shortValue() – Syntax & Examples

Java Integer.shortValue() – Examples

In this tutorial, we will learn about Java Integer.shortValue() method, and learn how to use this method to get the equivalent short value for this Integer object, with the help of examples.

shortValue()

Integer.shortValue() returns the value of this Integer as a short after a narrowing primitive conversion.

Syntax

The syntax of shortValue() method is

Integer.shortValue()

Returns

The method returns value of type short.

Example 1 – shortValue()

In this example, we will take an Integer object and find its equivalent short value using Integer.shortValue() method.

Java Program

public class Example {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		Integer integer = 20;
		short result = integer.shortValue();
		System.out.println("Result of shortValue() = " + result);
	}
}

Output

Result of shortValue() = 20

Example 2 – shortValue() – Narrowed Value

In this example, we will take an Integer object with value out of range for a short value.

Java Program

public class Example {
	public static void main(String[] args){
		Integer integer = 1985781260;
		short result = integer.shortValue();
		System.out.println("Result of shortValue() = " + result);
	}
}

Output

Result of shortValue() = -25076

Conclusion

In this Java Tutorial, we have learnt the syntax of Java Integer.shortValue() method, and also how to use this method with the help of Java example programs.
