Shorts Class | Guava | Java

Shorts is a utility class for primitive type short. It provides Static utility methods pertaining to short primitives, that are not already found in either Short or Arrays.

Declaration :

@GwtCompatible(emulated=true)
public final class Shorts
extends Object

Below table shows the Field summary for Guava Shorts Class :


Some of the methods provided by Guava Shorts Class are :

Exceptions :

  • checkedCast : IllegalArgumentException if value is greater than Short.MAX_VALUE or less than Short.MIN_VALUE
  • min : IllegalArgumentException if array is empty.
  • max : IllegalArgumentException if array is empty.
  • fromByteArray : IllegalArgumentException if bytes has fewer than 2 elements.
  • ensureCapacity : IllegalArgumentException if minLength or padding is negative.
  • toArray : NullPointerException if collection or any of its elements is null.

Below table shows some other methods provided by Guava Shorts Class :

Below given are some examples showing the implementation of Guava Shorts Class methods :
Example 1 :




// Java code to show implementation
// of Guava Shorts.asList() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
import java.util.*;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        short arr[] = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
  
        // Using Shorts.asList() method which convert
        // array of primitives to array of objects
        List<Short> myList = Shorts.asList(arr);
  
        // Displaying the elements
        System.out.println(myList);
    }
}


Output :

[3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Example 2 :




// Java code to show implementation
// of Guava Shorts.indexOf() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
import java.util.*;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        short[] arr = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
  
        // Displaying the index for
        // first occurrence of given target
        System.out.println(Shorts.indexOf(arr, (short)5));
    }
}


Output :

2

Example 3 :




// Java code to show implementation
// of Guava Shorts.concat() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
import java.util.*;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        short[] arr1 = { 3, 4, 5 };
        short[] arr2 = { 6, 7 };
  
        // Using Shorts.concat() method which
        // combines arrays from specified
        // arrays into a single array
        short[] arr = Shorts.concat(arr1, arr2);
  
        // Displaying the elements
        System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arr));
    }
}


Output :

[3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

Example 4 :




// Java code to show implementation
// of Guava Shorts.contains() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        short[] arr = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
  
        // Using Shorts.contains() method which
        // checks if element is present in array
        // or not
        System.out.println(Shorts.contains(arr, (short)8));
        System.out.println(Shorts.contains(arr, (short)7));
    }
}


output :

false
true

Example 5 :




// Java code to show implementation
// of Guava Shorts.min() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        short[] arr = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
  
        // Using Shorts.min() method
        System.out.println(Shorts.min(arr));
    }
}


Output :

3

Example 6 :




// Java code to show implementation
// of Guava Shorts.max() method
  
import com.google.common.primitives.Shorts;
  
class GFG {
    // Driver method
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        short[] arr = { 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 };
  
        // Using Shorts.max() method
        System.out.println(Shorts.max(arr));
    }
}


Output :

7
