Method Detail

hashCode

public static int hashCode(short value)
Returns a hash code for value; equal to the result of invoking ((Short) value).hashCode().

Parameters:
value - a primitive short value
Returns:
a hash code for the value

checkedCast

public static short checkedCast(long value)
Returns the short value that is equal to value, if possible.

Parameters:
value - any value in the range of the short type
Returns:
the short value that equals value
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if value is greater than Short.MAX_VALUE or less than Short.MIN_VALUE

saturatedCast

public static short saturatedCast(long value)
Returns the short nearest in value to value.

Parameters:
value - any long value
Returns:
the same value cast to short if it is in the range of the short type, Short.MAX_VALUE if it is too large, or Short.MIN_VALUE if it is too small

compare

public static int compare(short a,
                          short b)
Compares the two specified short values. The sign of the value returned is the same as that of ((Short) a).compareTo(b).

Parameters:
a - the first short to compare
b - the second short to compare
Returns:
a negative value if a is less than b; a positive value if a is greater than b; or zero if they are equal

contains

public static boolean contains(short[] array,
                               short target)
Returns true if target is present as an element anywhere in array.

Parameters:
array - an array of short values, possibly empty
target - a primitive short value
Returns:
true if array[i] == target for some value of i

indexOf

public static int indexOf(short[] array,
                          short target)
Returns the index of the first appearance of the value target in array.

Parameters:
array - an array of short values, possibly empty
target - a primitive short value
Returns:
the least index i for which array[i] == target, or -1 if no such index exists.

indexOf

public static int indexOf(short[] array,
                          short[] target)
Returns the start position of the first occurrence of the specified target within array, or -1 if there is no such occurrence.

More formally, returns the lowest index i such that java.util.Arrays.copyOfRange(array, i, i + target.length) contains exactly the same elements as target.

Parameters:
array - the array to search for the sequence target
target - the array to search for as a sub-sequence of array

lastIndexOf

public static int lastIndexOf(short[] array,
                              short target)
Returns the index of the last appearance of the value target in array.

Parameters:
array - an array of short values, possibly empty
target - a primitive short value
Returns:
the greatest index i for which array[i] == target, or -1 if no such index exists.

min

public static short min(short... array)
Returns the least value present in array.

Parameters:
array - a nonempty array of short values
Returns:
the value present in array that is less than or equal to every other value in the array
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty

max

public static short max(short... array)
Returns the greatest value present in array.

Parameters:
array - a nonempty array of short values
Returns:
the value present in array that is greater than or equal to every other value in the array
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if array is empty

concat

public static short[] concat(short[]... arrays)
Returns the values from each provided array combined into a single array. For example, concat(new short[] {a, b}, new short[] {}, new short[] {c} returns the array {a, b, c}.

Parameters:
arrays - zero or more short arrays
Returns:
a single array containing all the values from the source arrays, in order

toByteArray

@GwtIncompatible(value="doesn\'t work")
public static byte[] toByteArray(short value)
Returns a big-endian representation of value in a 2-element byte array; equivalent to ByteBuffer.allocate(2).putShort(value).array(). For example, the input value (short) 0x1234 would yield the byte array {0x12, 0x34}.

If you need to convert and concatenate several values (possibly even of different types), use a shared ByteBuffer instance, or use ByteStreams.newDataOutput() to get a growable buffer.


fromByteArray

@GwtIncompatible(value="doesn\'t work")
public static short fromByteArray(byte[] bytes)
Returns the short value whose big-endian representation is stored in the first 2 bytes of bytes; equivalent to ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes).getShort(). For example, the input byte array {0x54, 0x32} would yield the short value 0x5432.

Arguably, it's preferable to use ByteBuffer; that library exposes much more flexibility at little cost in readability.

Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if bytes has fewer than 2 elements

fromBytes

@GwtIncompatible(value="doesn\'t work")
public static short fromBytes(byte b1,
                                                   byte b2)
Returns the short value whose byte representation is the given 2 bytes, in big-endian order; equivalent to Shorts.fromByteArray(new byte[] {b1, b2}).

Since:
7.0

ensureCapacity

public static short[] ensureCapacity(short[] array,
                                     int minLength,
                                     int padding)
Returns an array containing the same values as array, but guaranteed to be of a specified minimum length. If array already has a length of at least minLength, it is returned directly. Otherwise, a new array of size minLength + padding is returned, containing the values of array, and zeroes in the remaining places.

Parameters:
array - the source array
minLength - the minimum length the returned array must guarantee
padding - an extra amount to "grow" the array by if growth is necessary
Returns:
an array containing the values of array, with guaranteed minimum length minLength
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if minLength or padding is negative

join

public static String join(String separator,
                          short... array)
Returns a string containing the supplied short values separated by separator. For example, join("-", (short) 1, (short) 2, (short) 3) returns the string "1-2-3".

Parameters:
separator - the text that should appear between consecutive values in the resulting string (but not at the start or end)
array - an array of short values, possibly empty

lexicographicalComparator

public static Comparator<short[]> lexicographicalComparator()
Returns a comparator that compares two short arrays lexicographically. That is, it compares, using compare(short, short)), the first pair of values that follow any common prefix, or when one array is a prefix of the other, treats the shorter array as the lesser. For example, [] < [(short) 1] < [(short) 1, (short) 2] < [(short) 2].

The returned comparator is inconsistent with Object.equals(Object) (since arrays support only identity equality), but it is consistent with Arrays.equals(short[], short[]).

Since:
2.0
See Also:
Lexicographical order article at Wikipedia

toArray

public static short[] toArray(Collection<? extends Number> collection)
Returns an array containing each value of collection, converted to a short value in the manner of Number.shortValue().

Elements are copied from the argument collection as if by collection.toArray(). Calling this method is as thread-safe as calling that method.

Parameters:
collection - a collection of Number instances
Returns:
an array containing the same values as collection, in the same order, converted to primitives
Throws:
NullPointerException - if collection or any of its elements is null
Since:
1.0 (parameter was Collection<Short> before 12.0)

asList

public static List<Short> asList(short... backingArray)
Returns a fixed-size list backed by the specified array, similar to Arrays.asList(Object[]). The list supports List.set(int, Object), but any attempt to set a value to null will result in a NullPointerException.

The returned list maintains the values, but not the identities, of Short objects written to or read from it. For example, whether list.get(0) == list.get(0) is true for the returned list is unspecified.

Parameters:
backingArray - the array to back the list
Returns:
a list view of the array
