Returns the value of this Short as a byte.

  Compares two Short objects numerically.

  Compares two Short objects numerically.
Returns: the value 0 if this Short is equal to the argument Short; a value less than 0 if this Short is numerically less than the argument Short; and a value greater than 0 if this Short is numerically greater than the argument Short (signed comparison).
Parameters:
- anotherShort - the Short to be compared.
Since: 1.2

  Decodes a String into a Short.

  Decodes a String into a Short. Accepts decimal, hexadecimal, and octal numbers given by the following grammar:

DecodableString:

Sign_opt DecimalNumeral

Sign_opt 0x HexDigits

Sign_opt 0X HexDigits

Sign_opt # HexDigits

Sign_opt 0 OctalDigits

Sign:

-

DecimalNumeral, HexDigits, and OctalDigits are defined in §3.10.1 of the Java Language Specification.

The sequence of characters following an (optional) negative sign and/or radix specifier ("0x", "0X", "#", or leading zero) is parsed as by the Short.parseShort method with the indicated radix (10, 16, or 8). This sequence of characters must represent a positive value or a NumberFormatException will be thrown. The result is negated if first character of the specified String is the minus sign. No whitespace characters are permitted in the String.
Returns: a Short object holding the short value represented by nm
Parameters:
- nm - the String to decode.
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - if the String does not contain a parsable short.
See Also: Short.parseShort(java.lang.String, int),

Returns the value of this Short as a double.

  Compares this object to the specified object.

  Compares this object to the specified object. The result is
true if and only if the argument is not
null and is a Short object that
contains the same short value as this object.
Returns: true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
Parameters:
- obj - the object to compare with

Returns the value of this Short as a float.

Returns a hash code for this Short.

Returns the value of this Short as an int.

Returns the value of this Short as a long.

  Parses the string argument as a signed decimal short.

  Parses the string argument as a signed decimal
short. 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, exactly as if the argument and the radix 10 were
given as arguments to the Short.parseShort(java.lang.String,
int) method.
Returns: the short value represented by the argument in decimal.
Parameters:
- s - a String containing the short representation to be parsed
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - If the string does not contain a parsable short.

  Parses the string argument as a signed short in the radix specified by the second argument.

  Parses the string argument as a signed short in the radix specified by the second argument. The characters in the string must all be digits, of the specified radix (as determined by whether Character.digit(char, int) returns a nonnegative value) except that the first character may be an ASCII minus sign '-' ('\u002D') to indicate a negative value. The resulting byte value is returned.

An exception of type NumberFormatException is thrown if any of the following situations occurs:

• The first argument is null or is a string of length zero.
• The radix is either smaller than Character.MIN_RADIX or larger than Character.MAX_RADIX.
• Any character of the string is not a digit of the specified radix, except that the first character may be a minus sign '-' ('\u002D') provided that the string is longer than length 1.
• The value represented by the string is not a value of type short.

Returns: the short represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Parameters:
- s - the String containing the short representation to be parsed
- radix - the radix to be used while parsing s
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

  Returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bytes in the two's complement representation of the specified short value.

  Returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bytes in the
two's complement representation of the specified short value.
Returns: the value obtained by reversing (or, equivalently, swapping) the bytes in the specified short value.
Since: 1.5

Returns the value of this Short as a short.

  Returns a String object representing this Short's value.

  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
Short.toString(short) method.
Returns: a string representation of the value of this object in base 10.

  Returns a new String object representing the specified short.

  Returns a new String object representing the
specified short. The radix is assumed to be 10.
Returns: the string representation of the specified short
Parameters:
- s - the short to be converted
See Also: Integer.toString(int),

  Returns a Short instance representing the specified short value.

  Returns a Short instance representing the specified
short value.
If a new Short instance is not required, this method
should generally be used in preference to the constructor
Short.Short(short), as this method is likely to yield
significantly better space and time performance by caching
frequently requested values.
Returns: a Short instance representing s.
Parameters:
- s - a short value.
Since: 1.5

  Returns a Short object holding the value given by the specified String.

  Returns a Short object holding the value given by the specified String. The argument is interpreted as representing a signed decimal short, exactly as if the argument were given to the Short.parseShort(java.lang.String) method. The result is a Short object that represents the short value specified by the string.

In other words, this method returns a Byte object equal to the value of:

new Short(Short.parseShort(s))

Returns: a Short object holding the value represented by the string argument
Parameters:
- s - the string to be parsed
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.

  Returns a Short object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument.

  Returns a Short object holding the value extracted from the specified String when parsed with the radix given by the second argument. The first argument is interpreted as representing a signed short in the radix specified by the second argument, exactly as if the argument were given to the Short.parseShort(java.lang.String, int) method. The result is a Short object that represents the short value specified by the string.

In other words, this method returns a Short object equal to the value of:

new Short(Short.parseShort(s, radix))

Returns: a Short object holding the value represented by the string argument in the specified radix.
Parameters:
- s - the string to be parsed
- radix - the radix to be used in interpreting s
Throws:
- NumberFormatException - If the String does not contain a parsable short.
