Constructor Detail

Short

public Short(short value)

Constructor to create an instance of Short with the given short value.

Parameters:

value - the value for this instance.

Short

public Short(String s)
      throws NumberFormatException

Constructor to create an instance of Short with the value provided as a string.

Parameters:

s - the string representation of the value.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s could not be parsed as a short.

Method Detail

toString

public static String toString(short s)

toString creates a decimal string from the given short value.

Parameters:

s - the short value

Returns:

the corresponding decimal string, e.g. "-128", "3", "127".

parseShort

public static short parseShort(String s)
                        throws NumberFormatException

parseShort parses a string that contains the decimal representation of a short and returns the short's value.

Parameters:

s - the string, e.g, "-128", "3", "127".

Returns:

the short value.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s is not parsable or out of the legal range for shorts.

parseShort

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

parseShort parses a string that contains a short represented by a number using the given radix. Returns the short's value.

Parameters:

s - the string

radix - the radix

Returns:

the short value.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s is not parsable, radix is out of the legal range or the value is out of the legal range for shorts.

valueOf

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

valueOf returns a short instance with the value given as a string with given radix. A cache is used to avoid multiple allocations of the same Short instance.

Parameters:

s - the string

radix - the radix

Returns:

a Short instance with the given value.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s is not parsable, radix is out of the legal range or the value is out of the legal range for shorts.

valueOf

public static Short valueOf(String s)
                     throws NumberFormatException

valueOf returns a short instance with the value given as a decimal string. A cache is used to avoid multiple allocations of the same Integer instance.

Parameters:

s - the string, e.g, "-128", "3", "127".

Returns:

a Short instance with the given value.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if s is not parsable or the value is out of the legal range for shorts.

decode

public static Short decode(String nm)
                    throws NumberFormatException

decode parses a short given as a decimal, octal or hex number. Prefix for hex is 0x, #, -0x or -#, for octal is 0 of -0.

Parameters:

nm - the short value as a string

Returns:

the corresponding short value.

Throws:

NumberFormatException - if parsing failed or the resulting value is not representable as a short.

Since:

1.2
