Constructors

 o Short
 public Short(short value)
Constructs a Short object initialized to the specified short value.

Parameters:
value - the initial value of the Short
 o 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.

Methods

 o 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
 o 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.
 o 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.

Parameters:
s - the String containing the integer
radix - the radix to be used
Throws: NumberFormatException
If the String does not contain a parsable short.
 o valueOf
