This class provides an object wrapper
around the short primitive type. It defines useful
constants for the minimum and maximum values that can be stored by
the short type, and also a
Class object constant that represents the
short type. It also provides various methods for
converting Short values to and from strings and
other numeric types.
Most of the
static methods of this class can convert a String
to a Short object or a short
value; the four parseShort( ) and
valueOf( ) methods parse a number from the
specified string using an optionally specified radix and return it in
one of these two forms. The decode( ) method
parses a number specified in base 10, base 8, or
base 16 and returns it as a Short. If the string
begins with "0x" or
"#", it is interpreted as a
hexadecimal number; if it begins with
"0", it is interpreted as an octal
number. Otherwise, it is interpreted as a decimal number.
Note that this class has two different
toString( ) methods. One is static and converts a
short primitive value to a string. The other is
the usual toString( ) method that converts a
Short object to a string. Most of the remaining
methods convert a Short to various primitive
numeric types.
