Constructor Detail

Short

public Short(short value)

Constructs a Short object initialized to the specified short value.

Parameters:

value - the initial value of the Short

Short

public Short(String s)
      throws NumberFormatException

Constructs a Short object initialized to the value specified by the String parameter. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Parameters:

s - the String to be converted to a Short

Throws:

NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

Method Detail

toString

public static String toString(short s)

Returns a new String object representing the specified Short. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Parameters:

s - the short to be converted

parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s)
                        throws NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short. The radix is assumed to be 10.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the short

Throws:

NumberFormatException - If the string does not contain a parsable short.

parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s,
                               int radix)
                        throws NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns that short's value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the short

radix - the radix to be used

Throws:

NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

valueOf

public static Short valueOf(String s,
                            int radix)
                     throws NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns a new Short object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the integer

radix - the radix to be used

Throws:

NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

valueOf

public static Short valueOf(String s)
                     throws NumberFormatException

Assuming the specified String represents a short, returns a new Short object initialized to that value. Throws an exception if the String cannot be parsed as a short.

Parameters:

s - the String containing the integer

Throws:

NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

decode

public static Short decode(String nm)
                    throws NumberFormatException

Decodes a String into a Short. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers, in the following formats:

     [-]    
     [-] 0x     
     [-] #      
     [-] 0    
 

The constant following an (optional) negative sign and/or "radix specifier" is parsed as by the Short.parseShort method with the specified radix (10, 8 or 16). This constant must be positive or a NumberFormatException will result. The result is made negative if first character of the specified String is the negative sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the String.

Parameters:

nm - the String to decode.

Returns:

the Short represented by the specified string.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain a parsable short.

byteValue

public byte byteValue()

Returns the value of this Short as a byte.

Overrides:

byteValue in class Number

shortValue

public short shortValue()

Returns the value of this Short as a short.

Overrides:

shortValue in class Number

intValue

public int intValue()

Returns the value of this Short as an int.

Overrides:

intValue in class Number

longValue

public long longValue()

Returns the value of this Short as a long.

Overrides:

longValue in class Number

floatValue

public float floatValue()

Returns the value of this Short as a float.

Overrides:

floatValue in class Number

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

Returns the value of this Short as a double.

Overrides:

doubleValue in class Number

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String object representing this Short's value.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a hashcode for this Short.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this object to the specified object.

Parameters:

obj - the object to compare with

Returns:

true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(Short anotherShort)

Compares two Shorts numerically.

Parameters:

anotherShort - the Short to be compared.

Returns:

the value 0 if the argument Short is equal to this Short; a value less than 0 if this Short is numerically less than the Short argument; and a value greater than 0 if this Short is numerically greater than the Short argument (signed comparison).

Since:

JDK1.2

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

Compares this Short to another Object. If the Object is a Short, this function behaves like compareTo(Short). Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException (as Shorts are comparable only to other Shorts).

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Parameters:

o - the Object to be compared.

Returns:

the value 0 if the argument is a Short numerically equal to this Short; a value less than 0 if the argument is a Short numerically greater than this Short; and a value greater than 0 if the argument is a Short numerically less than this Short.

Throws:

ClassCastException - if the argument is not a Short.

Since:

JDK1.2
