The shortValue() method of Byte class is a built in method in Java which is used to return the value of this Byte object as short. Syntax
ByteObject.shortValue()
Return Value: It returns the value of ByteObject as short. Below is the implementation of shortValue() method in Java: Example 1: Java
// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte shortValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // byte value
        byte a = 17;

        // wrapping the byte value
        // in the wrapper class Byte
        Byte b = new Byte(a);

        // shortValue of the Byte Object
        short output = b.shortValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Short value of "
                           + a + " is : " + output);
    }
}
Output:
Short value of 17 is : 17
Example 2: Java
// Java code to demonstrate
// Byte shortValue() method

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        String value = "17";

        // wrapping the byte value
        // in the wrapper class Byte
        Byte b = new Byte(value);

        // shortValue of the Byte Object
        short output = b.shortValue();

        // printing the output
        System.out.println("Short value of "
                           + b + " is : " + output);
    }
}
Output:
Short value of 17 is : 17
