      Returns the greatest value present in array.
      Parameters:
      array - a nonempty array of short values

    • 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].

    • 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
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if the total number of elements in arrays does not fit in an int

    • 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:
      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<String,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:
      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

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

    • 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.

      The returned list is serializable.

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