      • constrainToRange

        public static short constrainToRange​(short value,
                                             short min,
                                             short max)
        Returns the value nearest to value which is within the closed range [min..max].

        If value is within the range [min..max], value is returned unchanged. If value is less than min, min is returned, and if value is greater than max, max is returned.

        Parameters:
        value - the short value to constrain
        min - the lower bound (inclusive) of the range to constrain value to
        max - the upper bound (inclusive) of the range to constrain value to
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if min > max
        Since:
        21.0
      • 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
        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
        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:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if bytes has fewer than 2 elements
      • fromBytes

        @GwtIncompatible
        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
      • stringConverter

        public static Converter<java.lang.String,​java.lang.Short> stringConverter()
        Returns a serializable converter object that converts between strings and shorts using Short.decode(java.lang.String) and Short.toString(). The returned converter throws NumberFormatException if the input string is invalid.

        Warning: please see Short.decode(java.lang.String) to understand exactly how strings are parsed. For example, the string "0123" is treated as octal and converted to the value 83.

        Since:
        16.0
      • 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:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if minLength or padding is negative
      • join

        public static java.lang.String join​(java.lang.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 java.util.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
      • sortDescending

        public static void sortDescending​(short[] array)
        Sorts the elements of array in descending order.
        Since:
        23.1
      • sortDescending

        public static void sortDescending​(short[] array,
                                          int fromIndex,
                                          int toIndex)
        Sorts the elements of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive in descending order.
        Since:
        23.1
      • reverse

        public static void reverse​(short[] array)
        Reverses the elements of array. This is equivalent to Collections.reverse(Shorts.asList(array)), but is likely to be more efficient.
        Since:
        23.1
      • reverse

        public static void reverse​(short[] array,
                                   int fromIndex,
                                   int toIndex)
        Reverses the elements of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive. This is equivalent to Collections.reverse(Shorts.asList(array).subList(fromIndex, toIndex)), but is likely to be more efficient.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0, toIndex > array.length, or toIndex > fromIndex
        Since:
        23.1
      • rotate

        public static void rotate​(short[] array,
                                  int distance)
        Performs a right rotation of array of "distance" places, so that the first element is moved to index "distance", and the element at index i ends up at index (distance + i) mod array.length. This is equivalent to Collections.rotate(Shorts.asList(array), distance), but is considerably faster and avoids allocation and garbage collection.

        The provided "distance" may be negative, which will rotate left.

        Since:
        32.0.0
      • rotate

        public static void rotate​(short[] array,
                                  int distance,
                                  int fromIndex,
                                  int toIndex)
        Performs a right rotation of array between fromIndex inclusive and toIndex exclusive. This is equivalent to Collections.rotate(Shorts.asList(array).subList(fromIndex, toIndex), distance), but is considerably faster and avoids allocations and garbage collection.

        The provided "distance" may be negative, which will rotate left.

        Throws:
        java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if fromIndex < 0, toIndex > array.length, or toIndex > fromIndex
        Since:
        32.0.0
      • toArray

        public static short[] toArray​(java.util.Collection<? extends java.lang.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:
        java.lang.NullPointerException - if collection or any of its elements is null
        Since:
        1.0 (parameter was Collection<Short> before 12.0)
      • asList

        public static java.util.List<java.lang.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.

        The returned list is serializable.

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