Getting Short Object from a Positive short Value Example

The following example shows the usage of Short valueOf(short s) method to get the Short object using the specified short value. We've created a int variable and assigned it a positive short value. Then using valueOf() method, we're getting the object and printing it.

 package com.tutorialspoint; public class ShortDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { short s = 170; System.out.println("Number = " + s); /* returns the Short object of the given number */ System.out.println("valueOf = " + Short.valueOf(s)); } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

 Number = 170 valueOf = 170 

Getting Short Object from a Negative short Value Example

The following example shows the usage of Short valueOf(short s) method to get the Short object using the specified short value. We've created a int variable and assigned it a negative short value. Then using valueOf() method, we're getting the object and printing it.

 package com.tutorialspoint; public class ShortDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { short s = -170; System.out.println("Number = " + s); /* returns the Short object of the given number */ System.out.println("valueOf = " + Short.valueOf(s)); } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

 Number = -170 valueOf = -170 

Getting Short Object from a Zero short Value Example

The following example shows the usage of Short valueOf(short s) method to get the Short object using the specified short value. We've created a int variable and assigned it a zero value. Then using valueOf() method, we're getting the object and printing it.

 package com.tutorialspoint; public class ShortDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { short s = 0; System.out.println("Number = " + s); /* returns the Short object of the given number */ System.out.println("valueOf = " + Short.valueOf(s)); } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

 Number = 0 valueOf = 0
